Set this field to Yes to update or review tax amounts. See QAD Global Tax Management User Guide for more information on taxes.

Optionally specify the revision level of the purchase order. This value should not be confused with the item revision, which identifies the item’s engineering drawing revision. Each time a purchase order is changed, you may want to increase the number by 1 to show how many times the order was changed. You may also want to add comments describing the change and reasons for making it. A new copy of the order can be printed to document the change.

Optionally, specify the date the order revision level is effective. The default is blank.

Only open order quantities appear on printed purchase orders. If you print the order after receiving line items, it is not reflected in the original order quantity.

To prevent you from accidentally reprinting an order, the system automatically resets Print PO to No. If you reprint the order without resetting Print PO to Yes, the word DUPLICATE appears on the order.

Under most circumstances, this field defaults to Yes for new orders. However, if you use EDI eCommerce to transmit purchase orders to your suppliers in electronic data interchange (EDI) format, you probably do not print the orders as well. The system uses the logical parameter Send EDI PO in the supplier’s record in Trading Partner Parameter Maintenance (35.13.10) to determine the default setting of Print PO. When Send EDI PO is Yes, Print PO defaults to No.

See QAD EDI eCommerce User Guide for details on EDI trading partner setup.

The revision level or change order number printed on the purchase order must be maintained manually on the purchase order trailer.

This field controls whether the purchase order can be selected for export using EDI eCommerce Purchase Order Export (35.4.9). The field defaults from the logical parameter Send EDI PO in the supplier’s record in Trading Partner Parameter Maintenance, if one is defined. If it is not, the default is No.

Enter the amount of deposit sent with this purchase order. The amount does not update the GL or supplier account balance. A payment must be created in Accounts Payable, entered as a prepayment. When the invoice finally arrives, you can use Open Item Adjustment to match the prepayment record to the invoice.

Free on Board. Identifies where title passes to the buyer and often is used to indicate who pays shipping charges.

This field defaults from the carrier name specified in Supplier Data Maintenance (2.3.1), which identifies the preferred carrier for a supplier’s orders. This value can be overridden.
