If I see a transaction on screen
V23, how do I determine what type of purchase order it is?
Example: Blanket Purchase Order, Regular Purchase Order,
Limited Purchase Order
A limited purchase order can be identified easily because
it starts with an A2#, and this number will be displayed in the first reference
field on screen V23.
A non limited purchase order has to be identified by doing the steps below:
Go to screen 220 - Purchase Order Header Maintenance
Type in the purchase order number that appears on screen V23 in the p.o. field (1st reference field), and hit enter.
Look at the --- p.o. type--- field to determine what it is.
You can look at the right side of the p.o. type field for a brief identification.
Or for more details, put your cursor on the P.O. Type field information, and hit the F2 (help key) to identify what type of purchase order it is - Example: Confirming/Quoted Order, etc.
To scroll forward through the help screen, keep hitting
enter, this screen will list all of the abbreviations for the purchase
order types.
***If you use F2 (help key) use F4 to exit help (menu at bottom left of screen).
Then, hit the Home key to get back to the screen field.***
Now that I know what type of Purchase Order it is, how do I research to see if an invoice has been paid against it?
After you have found out what it is, or if you know whether it is a particular type of p.o.; you may go back to the main menu and choose how to track down a particular type of purchase order invoice:
or you may click on one of the following three options:
