Drop Ship Purchase Order

How to print: The system generates the drop ship purchase order when you complete the Select Vendors for Drop Ship Screen (MDSP) if the vendor’s Drop ship output flag is set to Drop Ship Purchase Order.

Print program: You use the PO Print Program (C64) and the PO Print Program for PO Print in PO Sequence (C76) system control values to indicate the print program to use. The default graphical print program is PURCHORDG, and the default non-graphical print program is PURCHORD. If you use a different print program, your purchase order will differ from the samples.

Working with forms: See Forms Management (My Forms) for information on displaying or printing purchase orders and other forms.

Sample drop ship purchase orders: See the graphical drop ship purchase order sample and the non-graphical drop ship purchase order sample .

The information included on the graphical and non-graphical drop ship purchase orders is the same; however, the graphical version also includes elements such as field labels, the company logo, and text boxes to highlight the printed information.
