manual entry purchase order

Do you select a supplier for the PO in the Header section before you start adding items to the PO? This has to be done prior to adding items or it won't know what supplier to get the information from. Craig

I'm still confused. I went to inventory - purchase orders - new - create a new blank purchase order for manual entry - ok - lookup on header tab - select supplier - ok - contents tab - add item - selected item from list - ok. My qty order qty is

It sounds like you have it right. Just remember when you do a manual PO your reorder points won't come into play. Your MPQ should appear however after you type in your ILC and tab to the next field or hit enter. This only happens if you use the Quickscan feature not the add item button. Add item will only put one on at a time and will not use your MPQ. Craig

Thanks Craig. You've been a big help. I still think that the MPQ should show even on a Quickscan entry.

Amy, it will show up on Quickscan, it's Add item that it won't pick up MPQ. If you think a lot of people would benefit from working on Add item also, make a suggestion so people can vote on it and maybe it will be included in future releases. Personally I don't really care because I never use the Add item button, I always use Quickscan, for me it's just simpler because after I put in the ILC I can tab to quantity and enter the number received right at the same time.
