By
customizing the PO Enter Purchase Orders and PO Receive Items windows, you can control what information your buyers can view or edit when they enter, receive, or invoice orders. It’s important to become familiar with the different elements in the entering and receiving windows and how customizing these elements can act as a security control for you. Because you can attach the screen layouts you set up to different Buyer Codes, you can allow certain buyers to have rights to view and edit information that other buyers may not have. For example, if you don’t want a buyer to be able to change item prices, you can make the cost fields informational only or hide them for that layout. You can also customize these screens to specifically meet the needs of your business and processes. For instance, you can modify the field labels to be the same as your preprinted purchase orders or to use your company’s terminology. You can even set up the tab order of the fields in the windows to help increase efficiency.
