Changing Purchase Order Entry Body Screen Views

On the Purchase Order Entry screen, you can change the column view to display specific information about an order. For example, if a customer asks for the unit cost for an item ordered, you can change the view to include a column that displays the unit cost. The views you can select depend on your authorization in the system. Some custom views are set up in Customer Maintenance.

Note: The system reverts to the default column choices when a purchase order displays. Changing the view only changes the view for the current session.

To change the Body screen view on the Purchase Order Entry screen:

From the Purch menu, select Purchase Order Entry to display the Purchase Order Entry screen.
Create or open a purchase order.
Use the View hot key to display the column display choices.
