PO Enter Purchase Orders window: Detail Information
There are many fields you can select from the

PO Set Up Purchasing/Receiving Layout window to appear in the Detail section here. You can also configure them with titles that you choose. Depending on the number of fields you set up, you might see horizontal scroll bars.
Use the SHIFT+F4 key combination to quickly move to this section of the window without using the mouse.
Stock Number / GL Account / Comment
The label for this column depends on the line type you select from the right-click menu in the item row and your integration settings.
• If you select an Inventory line type, the column label is
Stock Number. Type or use the Lookup to enter a stock item. Depending on your inventory set up, you might notice a different stock item, or several items, than the one you selected appears in this field. This most likely means that the selected stock item has a superseded or alias stock item associated with it. Refer to
Adding Stock Items or
Creating Kits for more information on these Inventory features.
• If you select a Direct Expense line type, the column label is GL Account. Type or use the Lookup to enter a general ledger account. The default for this field is the GL Expense Account that was defined for the selected vendor.
• If you select a Comment line type, the column label is
Comment. Type to enter a Comment Code. You can also press ALT+F5 on your keyboard or open the right-click menu and select
Insert Comment Code to open the
PO Comment Codes Lookup window. If you want to enter a one-time comment for only this purchase order, press ALT+F6 on your keyboard or use the right-click menu and select
Insert Comment to open the
Enter Purchase Order Comments window.

You can only access this column if Multi-Location Inventory is installed. Type or use the Lookup to enter the location of this item. If you enter a location that is not in the system for the stock item, the

If you change the date in the header section of the window, all existing detail lines will remain unchanged, but the next detail line you add will reflect the new expected date. If you are generating a recurring order, this date autofills with the date saved on the original recurring order.
Unit Cost
If you selected an Inventory line type, this field autofills with the unit cost of the item that was set up in Inventory.
