Running the Open Purchase Orders Report

The Open P/Os Report lets you see open purchase orders, including bids, for one or more branches that were either written during a specified time period or whose products are expected to arrive during a specified time period. The report also includes directs for the ship from customers of each pay to customer includes in the report.

The Open P/Os Report does not provide a line item detail option. It is only a summary report.  It does display grand totals, however, for the time frames indicated. You can view detailed information on any of the purchase orders included in the report by using the View hot key from the Hold file.

Note: If you have Lot Billing Items that are open, those totals are included on this report.
