Before going over the different ways to create an order, let's first define each of the fields in the Purchase Order Details - Reorder Plan window. (Green fields indicate that they are editable. Also, fields are listed in the default PO view, which may differ from the order you have customized.)

Info: The information column shows Products In a Promotion, Future Promotions, Serialized products, whether it is ordered by Case or Each, and if it is a Special Order item. These symbols can be cooresponded by bringing up the PO Legend, a link available in the bottom work bar.

Supplier Code: This code represents the number your supplier uses to identify each product. This field is editable - changing or setting this number will save to your inventory upon saving the order.

Inventory Brand: The brand is an optional field used to help identify products. This is a drop down field that will update your inventory upon selecting or changing the brand on the order.

Product Code: This code represents the number associated with the products barcode/UPC. A UPC code is made up of 12 digits, the first and last are check digits, the second thru fifth are the manufacturer's code, and the last five may follow the supplier number or be randomly assigned.

Inventory Description: This is the description in your inventory file. It is an editable field that will update your inventory upon changing and saving the PO.

Product Size and Attribute: The Size and Attribute are optional fields used to further identify a product. These are editable fields that when changed or set will update the inventory record and the size and attribute drop down lists upon saving the order.

Inv. Cost: These values were assigned to the product when they were added to the order and are stored as a reference.

PO Cost: This is the cost your supplier is currently charging for each product. This is an editable field that is populated from your inventory cost. If you know of special pricing, this field can be updated to represent the new cost prior to sending the order.

Products Per Pack: This number is generally set by the supplier and is the only way to purchase from that supplier. This field is editable and will update the inventory quantity and each cost upon saving the order.

Order Qty: This is the number of products that you would like to order. If the product has a case value, make sure to put the number of cases you are ordering. If the order quantity is near or at the case quantity, the field will go red upon moving off to indicate that you may want to look it over.

Total Each Qty: This value is the total number of products, multiplying case quantities to the number ordered to show the full value.
