In Purchase Order, you can use codes to identify buyers, departments, and shipping methods. You can also use codes to streamline certain tasks, such as adding comments to orders and tracking custom information for your business. You are required to set up some codes, including Buyers Codes, Department Codes, and Layout Codes. For your convenience, we included at least one predefined code for each type that is required, but you can modify these codes or create new ones to meet your needs.

The links in this topic contain information on each code and how you can benefit from using it. To set up codes, select Options on the left navigation pane and then select the desired code.

Depending on how you set up integration between installed modules, some features and functions of these codes might be different. For more information on integrating modules, see Purchase Order Relationship with Other Modules.
