36.1 Determining When an Order Should Arrive

Several reports are provided in the Purchase Order System to help you keep track of the progress of an order.

The Purchase Order report, Expedite Work Sheet, displays purchase orders that have not been received. It flags the purchase orders that are overdue and those that are due today. Space is provided for changing the due date. Although purchase orders that are overdue and those that are due today, are always displayed on this report, you may also display other purchase orders by answering the following questions displayed on the report parameter screen:

If you leave the selection fields blank, all the purchase orders that have not been received are displayed on the report.

Space is provided on the report for manually writing in a new due date, for each order displayed. New due dates should also be entered into the system by editing the appropriate purchase order. Inventory purchase orders that have not been printed can be edited using menu choice Purchase Orders. Edit printed inventory purchase orders through menu choice Edit Purchase Orders. Before a non-inventory purchase order is printed, it can be edited using menu choice. Non-Inventory Purchase Orders. After it has been printed, menu choice Edit Non-Inventory POs, must be used.
