Purpose: Use this screen to define the status that will be assigned to a Purchase Order during Purchase Order Entry.
Code field: Enter the code that defines the default status assigned to purchase orders during Entering Purchase Orders (MPOE).
Valid status codes include:
• OPEN = the purchase order has a status of open and will be printed automatically when the P/O Entry is accepted.
• HELD = the purchase order will not be printed until it is approved and released. You can maintain a held purchase order, but you cannot receive against it.
If you do not enter a status here, purchase orders are not automatically placed on hold.
Purchase orders are approved through the purchase order entry or Maintaining Purchase Orders (MPOE).
