Vendor Inquiry, which is used to view purchase order information by the vendor chosen. Information includes open purchase orders, past purchase orders, planned special order purchase orders, receipts, vendor notes, items, vendor-item numbers and ship-froms. This inquiry is separate from the AP Vendor Inquiry program.

The various status codes include: purchase orders entered, but not printed, purchase orders printed, received purchase orders, deleted purchase orders and voided printed purchase orders. Inquiry information includes an overview of the document’s current status, the actual document as it appeared at time of entry (with updated amounts and units) and as purchase orders are line item receivable, each receipt per line may also be displayed.
