· All inventory codes for a specific Vendor ID Number will be displayed.
· You can associate Vendor ID Number to inventory codes.
· You save a row with a specific Vendor ID Number (not 999999999), a row is also inserted with the Vendor ID 999999999 if one does not already exist.
Automatic notifications may be emailed when you create a purchase order or change a purchase order if your system has been configured to send out notifications for purchase orders.
When your system is configured to operate in foreign currencies, you can indicate on the Header tab (Currency Code column) the currency in which the purchase order is going to be entered. The Currency Indicator Message at the top right then displays the Currency Code selected. You will see no other visual changes in the Purchase Order process. The Transaction History Extension rows that are entered on the Detail tab are entered in the denomination of the currency being used.
