with the quick info text Create

You can create purchase orders manually.

The system performs an OTB check. If the result is negative (red OTB status), the system creates a negatively checked grouped purchase order document(GPOD) when you save, and the display automatically switches to the grouped purchase order document.

Search logic for entering vendors

Even if you do not know the vendor (ID), you can search for it by entering part of the search term. The system searches for matches in the name of the vendor.

Changes to purchase orders

If you change a purchase order, causing the budget to no longer be sufficient, the negatively checked items are locked and only the positively checked items are communicated to the vendor. As soon as the OTB status of an item changes from red (OTB negative) to green (OTB positive), the system unlocks the item again.

You can delete purchase orders that were created manually and purchase orders that have not been saved. The deletion cannot be reversed.
