When viewing or printing a purchase order in PDF format, All lines prints all lines on the PO, and Latest changes only prints only the changes on the report.

You can change the value to 12,25, 50, 100, or All. The First and Last buttons enable you to scroll through purchase orders and view scrolling and total values.

Note: When REN Server method is not used for viewing the PDF and ten seconds has passed but the PDF has not opened, the system displays a message explaining that the process is taking longer, wait a few seconds and then click the button again. The system then checks to see if the report is finished and when it is, pulls the PDF up immediately.

You must stay within the transaction or else clicking the button again will regenerate the report. You can navigate to other pages and look at other POs, and so forth, but leaving the transaction loses the link to the report.
