Function documentationSearch Purchase Orders

 

You use this function to search for purchase orders during the perishables procurement process.

Integration

This function is accessed from the Perishables Procurement work center by choosing Search Purchase Orders.

Features

The perishables buyer can execute either a basic or advanced search. They also have the ability to restrict the number of search results to maximize system performance and usability.

Activities

You can do the following:

Running a Basic Search

When running a basic search, the following fields already have default values:

  • Created by: The ID of the user logged into the system.

  • Created On From/To: The range of dates on which the sales order was created. For ease of use, you can choose to set the value to yesterday, today, last week or a free entry that displays all available purchase orders. You can also enter a desired range of dates as a free entry.

  • Delivery Date From/To: This displays the range of delivery dates for the purchase order. Similar to the date of creation, you can choose a range of dates from the available options.

The buyer can enter more information, such as the article for which the purchase order was created, the article description, the supplier responsible for the article, and so on.

Running an Advanced Search

The buyer can also choose to specify additional criteria in case the basic search does not display the desired purchase orders:

  • Change the NB Standard PO default order type to a specific value.

  • Search for and set the value for a purchasing document.

  • Search by the EAN or UPC number of a purchase order.

  • Specify the values for a purchasing organization or a purchasing group.
