Node Preferences - Purchasing - Purchase Orders
The preferences in this area apply to purchase orders only.
| Preference | Description |
|---|---|
| Default PO Type | Select the default PO Type: drop-ship or marked-for. You can change the type when making a new PO. |
| Allow negative quantities on POs | If selected, items on POs can have a negative Doc Qty. This is typically used when returning merchandise. |
| Allow receiving against PO after cancel date | If selected, a user can create a voucher that references a PO that is past its Cancel Date. |
| Order by cases only | Select Order by Cases Only to restrict quantities ordered on purchase orders to whole cases for items defined in inventory as "by-the-case" items |
| Case rounding method | The "Case Rounding Method" preference determines how quantities should be rounded to equal a full case. Select Up, Down, or Normal (rounds to the nearest whole number). Example: An item comes in five units per case. You want to restock the item to its Min level, which is 25, and there are currently 9 items in stock. This means 16 items are needed to bring the item to its Min level. Auto PO will round up to the nearest whole case and order 4 cases (20 items). When Auto PO reorders "by-the-case" merchandise, it should always round down to the nearest whole case. Using the same example above, Auto PO would round down and order 3 cases (15 items). When Auto PO reorders "by-the-case" merchandise, it should round up or down to the nearest whole case. Using the same example above, Auto PO would round down and order 3 cases (15 items). If 19 items were needed to reach the Min level, Auto PO would round up and order 4 cases (20 items). |
