Purchase Order Types

You can build six different types of purchase orders in Purchase Order Entry.

Since you can report and inquire about these purchase orders, it is important

to understand the purpose of each type. Each purchase order type is

identified by a number, a short name, or an abbreviation as defined in the

table below.

Purchase Order Types

Type Description Short Name Abbreviation

1 Standard purchase order STANDARD STD

2 Special purchase order SPECIAL SPEC

3 Credit/return purchase order CREDIT CRED

4 Drop ship purchase order DROPSHIP DROP

5 Central purchase order CENTRAL CENT

6 Reload purchase order RELOAD RLD

You can build purchase orders for cooperative buying service

companies such as TruServ and Hardware Wholesalers, Inc.

(HWI) using any of these six purchase order types. Refer to

Purchase Orders for Cooperative Vendors in Chapter 2: Purchase

Order Entry for more information.

Standard Purchase Order (Type 1)

Use a standard purchase order for the regular purchasing of items for stock.

Enter this type of purchase order using the Purchase Order Entry program.

Special Purchase Order (Type 2)

Use a special purchase order when you are ordering items not normally

stocked (nonstock items), unusual quantities of an item, or other

circumstances that require special ordering for a particular customer. Enter

special purchase orders using the Purchase Order Entry program, the Create

Purchase Order from Order program, or the order to purchase order

interface.
