Standing Purchase Orders
You can create standing purchase orders that contain items you often order together, then create active purchase orders from the standing purchase orders.
Placing active purchase orders from standing purchase orders
To create an active purchase order from a standing purchase order, you call up the standing purchase order and change the type to Active (you can also select Future or Blanket to create other types of purchase orders), make the changes you need, then post the new order with a new purchase order number you typed or a number assigned automatically by the program.
When you post a purchase order you created from a standing purchase order, the standing purchase order is retained in the system, unchanged and with its original number, regardless of how many purchase orders you issue from it.
Editing standing purchase orders
To change the contents of a standing purchase order, you display the purchase order, make the changes you need, then post them. You can change everything about an existing standing purchase order except its number and type. If you change the purchase order number or type, the program assumes you are creating a new purchase order.
