Standard Clauses
The QAD ERP application uses standard comments, similar to standard clauses in EAM. When a purchase order is copied to the QAD ERP application, EAM’s standard clauses are copied to the standard comments section.
During implementation, you can copy standard comments from the QAD ERP application into EAM. Standard comments in the QAD ERP application are grouped by type. The system administrator must identify the types. Use standard clauses to attach standard terms and conditions or special instructions to a purchase order. Standard clauses can also be attached to a vendor record. Each time a vendor is linked to a purchase order, all of the vendor’s standard clauses are copied to the purchase order. Additional standard clauses can be added as needed and attached to a purchase order.
