There are several basic tasks you need to complete to enter a purchase order in the PO Enter Purchase Orders window. For example, you need to ensure the active batch is set to Open (Business product only) or Single (Fund product only) (or, in the Fund product, set up/select a batch if the Enable encumbering check box is selected in Module Preferences), enter the item(s) you are ordering, apply any freight charges or discounts, and possibly print the purchase order. The links in this topic will help you complete these and other basic tasks.

To become more familiar with the different elements in the window, see Overview of the Entry Window. If you need information on setting up batches, see Working with Batches in Purchase Order. For information on setting up the layout for the entry window, see Using the User-Defined Fields After Setup.

See PO Enter Purchase Orders window for detailed information about the options in this window.
