2. Enter the Vendor Number to be used with this Purchase Order

3. The next line is to enter a PO number

   1. System Switch #31 in Parts Parameters in Desktop will driver whether or not the company needs to create/enter their own PO number or if RTA will generate a PO number automatically based on the last number used

      

4. If an Invoice number exists from the vendor already, enter on the invoice number line

   1. System Switch #29 in Parts Parameters in Desktop can be set to prompt for invoice number which will determine if the invoice number field can be skipped when tabbing through the panel

      

5. Click Create New PO

   1. If the vendor has a blanket PO, the blanket PO information will display and give the option to choose “Use Blanket PO”

   2. If no blanket PO exists, “Create New PO” will be the primary button option displayed

      
6. 

   The system will display a message that the PO has been created and the user can continue with adding addition information and creating lines

7. Enter any master notes for the PO if desired

8. Add lines to the PO reflecting the various items to be ordered from the vendor

   1. Each part/item ordered is placed on its own line with the quantity of that part/item being requested

   2. Refer to Purchase Order Lines for details on adding, editing, deleting, and moving lines on a Purchase Order
