Purpose: Use the Select Purchase Order For Receipt screens to enter or scan for the purchase order you are receiving. If you know information unique to the purchase order, such as its number, you can enter the number and advance directly to purchase order receiving.

• Vendor name
• Vendor reference #
• Vendor item #
• Item/SKU
• Item alias
• Buyer code
Additionally, you can simply select OK at the Select P/O For Receipt Screen to display each purchase order available for receipt.
Purpose: Use this screen to select the particular purchase order you are receiving. You can enter the purchase order number to advance directly to the Work with P/O Receipt Detail Screen, or enter information in any of the fields on the screen to display a list of purchase orders.
How to display this screen: Enter PORC in the Fast Path field at the top of any menu.
Scanning for purchase orders: You can use the fields on this screen to find the purchase order you want to work with.

• Within a group, you can enter as much data to scan on as you want. For instance, you can enter data in the Vendor name, Reference, and Item fields.
• You cannot scan on multiple fields from different groups, except that you can always scan on the Buyer field plus any other group.
