Adding lines to purchase orders

You can add lines to an existing purchase order for each item, material, service, or tool to be purchased.

Before you begin

The status of the purchase order must be either Waiting for Approval (WAPPR) or Pending Revision (PNDREV).

About this task

The first time that you create an item or a service in the Item Master application, you can specify the percentage of items or services that can be received over the amount that is ordered in the initial agreement. The percentage value is applied to the organization level and to the vendor level for an item or a service.

When you add lines to a purchase order, you can modify the percentage of items or services that can be received over the amount that is ordered in the initial agreement. You can also choose to specify either a quantity or an amount, instead of a percentage.

Procedure

  1. In the Purchase Orders application, display a purchase order.
  2. Click the PO Lines tab.
  3. In the PO Lines table, click New Row.
  4. Fill the remaining required fields.

    Tip: If you are entering a series of items with similar information, fill one or more of the fields in the Default Table Data section.

  5. Optional: Specify or modify other purchase order line information as needed.
  6. Save the purchase order.
