Use this screen to launch the Create PO, PO Maintenance, PO Inquiry, and One Step PO programs where you enter and update purchase orders to your vendors. When launching all but the PO Maintenance program, you are prompted for a vendor number and a purchase order number. If you are launching the PO Maintenance program, you are only asked for the purchase order number.
If you are launching the PO Inquiry program when control record POMNUO is set to Y, you are taken directly to PO Number Search.
Click a link to advance to that section of the topic.
