When you convert existing orders into purchase orders, you can have the

customer code from each order copied into one of the four memo fields, or

you can have the order number copied into one of them. You can even have

the customer code copied into one memo field and the order number copied

into another. If you want this information copied from your orders into

memo fields on your purchase orders, select the appropriate setting for the

Order to PO - Customer Code Memo preference and the Order to PO - Order

# Preference in the Vendor Order Processing Preferences program. Refer to

your System Preferences Guide for more information and instructions.

Purchase Orders for Cooperative Vendors

Your company may use a cooperative vendor such as Hardware Wholesalers,

Inc. (HWI), or TruServ to purchase goods. The Purchase Order Entry

program provides special purchase order types that can only be used if your

company purchases through one of these buying service companies. To use

one of these special purchase order types, the vendor code of the cooperative

vendor must have been established using the preferences in the appropriate

Vendor Communications module.

For example, if your company uses TruServ as a cooperative vendor to

purchase merchandise, your System Manager must use the preference

program in the TruServ Communications Processing module to establish

TruServ as the vendor. For information and instructions about setting

preferences for a Vendor Communications module, refer to the appropriate

Vendor Communications Processing manual.

After you enter the vendor code of the cooperative vendor on the Purchase

Order Header screen, as well as any other information, an appropriate

window opens when you accept the information. The information required

for TruServ and HWI purchase orders is discussed in the following sections.

TruServ Purchase Orders

A TruServ purchase order is used in conjunction with the TruServ

Communications Processing module only. This purchase order type is not

available to you unless your company has purchased and installed this

communications module. In addition, you must have established a TruServ

vendor using the preference program in TruServ Communications Processing.

Use the TruServ purchase order type to build purchase orders to transmit to

the cooperative buying service company, TruServ, if you purchase through

them for any of your locations. However, you are not required to build only

TruServ purchase orders to transmit to them, you can use other purchase

order types as well.
