Auto Create PO - PO Selection

Program/Screen: POCRTT/POCRTT001

Description:

Use this screen to enter the parameters for pulling in items that are due to be reordered, so that they can be selected for requisition or purchase.

Depending on the number of items purchased from the entered vendor, this could take a long time to process, so it is recommended that you first run the Reorder Report by Vendor and specify to update the item master files with reorder calculations; then come to this program and enter F in the Select Only field to process records based on the last reorder point calculation.
