The Purchase Order system requires that information be entered into several master files before purchase orders can be created. These files should be set up in in the following order:
Payment Terms
Vendor Master
Company Receiving Address
Alternate Receiving Addresses
Inventory Master
Alternate Vendor Addresses
Vendor Prices
The rest of this chapter discusses the set up of each of these files. You should read the sections on the inventory and vendor master files, even if you have already set up these files in other modules, because there are fields in these files that are used specifically with the Purchase Order system.
