Process Master or Repeating Orders

Standard purchase orders can be created against a master order or a repeating order. Master and repeating orders are maintained the same way as a standard purchase order. Existing master and repeating orders can be maintained and modified.

Warning When the information entered on the Purchase Order Entry Header tab is entered and accepted for a master or repeating order, that purchase order header information cannot be changed.

To process master or repeating orders

Select Purchase Order Main menu > Purchase Order Entry.
In the Order Number field, enter the order number, or click the Next Number button to assign the next sequential number. For more information, see Purchase Order Entry - Fields.
In the Order Date field, enter the order date. In the Order Type field, select Standard Order.
In the Master/Repeat PO field, enter the master or repeating order number, or click the Lookup button to list all master and repeating orders.

After a master or repeating order number is entered in the Master/Repeat PO field, the corresponding fields on the Purchase Order Entry Header tab contain information for the master or repeating order number entered (if applicable). If the expiration date entered on the master or repeating purchase order is before the required date on the standard purchase order, a warning message appears. Click Yes to continue or click No to return to the Master/Repeat PO field.

Note To purge expired master or repeating orders, see Period End Processing.
