This chapter contains these topics:
To review and change status codes for detail lines
To review and change requested and promised dates for detail lines
To generate purchase orders based on item reorder points
You can revise a purchase order after you have entered it into the system if a change has occurred since you entered the order. For instance, if you need to fill a purchase order quickly, you can manually update the status code so that it bypasses some of the normal purchasing procedures, as defined in Order Activity Rules (P40204). If you want to delay an order, or if the supplier cannot get the items to you by the promised date, you can revise the requested or promised dates. Also, you can review your inventory and create a purchase order for items that you want to reorder.
Complete the following tasks:
Update status codes
Revise purchase dates
Generate purchase orders
