Select this button to issue purchase order numbers to the selected buyer. If you delete a purchase order that contains a pre-issued number, the buyer can still use the purchase order number as though it had never been used.

Select this option to unissue purchase order numbers from the selected buyer. If a purchase order with a pre-issued number was edited since it was generated, it will not be unissued.

Select this option to print a list (report) of issued purchase order numbers. Once pre-issued purchase orders are completed (removed from the open item table) they no longer appear in the list. Also, if a purchase order with a pre-issued number is deleted, the number is still assigned to the Buyer, but the purchase order date and vendor no longer appear in the list.

If you are issuing numbers, this field is required. Type the Buyer Code or use the Lookup to enter the buyer for which you are issuing/unissuing purchase order numbers. Once a Buyer Code is selected in this field, the description appears to the right of the field. If you are unissuing numbers and you leave this field blank, the purchase order numbers will be unissued for all buyers set up in the system.

If you are issuing numbers, you must enter information in these fields. These fields default to the next available purchase order numbers based on the Last Purchase Order Number field in the Module Preferences, but you can edit these numbers. If you use alphabetic characters in your purchase order numbers, we highly recommend you end your number with a numeric character for incrementing purposes. Enter the starting and ending purchase order numbers you wish to issue to /unissue from the selected buyer.

Enter the date on which you want to pre-issue the purchase orders. This date prints on the PO Pre-issue Purchase Orders Report. This field defaults to the current system date.

This option only appears when you select the List radio button. Use this drop-down to set the sort you want to use for the report. Your options are PO Number, Buyer, and Vendor.
