This topic describes the process of creating a purchase order via the Product Performance and Purchase Recommendations routine. The option to create actual purchase orders appears when exiting the Product Selection Screen, provided the Purchase Order Processing option has been completed and saved.
From the Product Selection screen, click the Exit button at the bottom of the screen.
A Confirm dialog window will ask "Do you want to discard the changes you made?"
Click No to save the PO list and proceed with the creation of purchase orders.
The system will then prompt "All orders on hold?"
Click Yes if all purchase orders being created are to be placed on hold, or click No if purchase orders will not be placed on hold.
A Confirm dialog window will display the number of purchase orders being created and asks if you want to proceed. The prompt reads "This process will create NN purchase orders; Continue?"
Click Yes to create the purchase orders or No to cancel the creation of purchase orders.
If Yes is selected, the Display PO Create Summary screen will display. The PO column in the grid will list the actual purchase order numbers created.
Click Exit to close the Display PO screen and return to the criteria selection screen.
Purchase orders created via the Full Buyers Work Sheet may then be accessed via purchase order entry and inquiry processes.
