Redwood: View Purchase Orders

View purchase orders using a Redwood page as a buyer. You can navigate to the View Purchase Order Redwood page from the Redwood Purchase Orders page and navigate back to the originating page. While viewing the purchase order, you can easily see the order summary, schedule details, order life cycle, and order history by just moving across the tabs.

In this example, the purchase order is launched from the Redwood Purchase Orders page:

While viewing the purchase order, you can see key order information, such as the supplier, buyer, and total. Clicking the total amount will open a drawer that shows a breakdown of the total. If there are any discounts or credits on the purchase order, those will be displayed in this drawer. The table shows all the lines and schedules that are on the purchase order, along with the status of the schedule.

In addition to viewing purchase order details, the Redwood page provides quick access to the order life cycle without having to navigate to a separate page. From the Order Life Cycle tab, you can see the relationship between requisition line and purchase order schedule and also see the related shipments, receipts, and invoices created against each purchase order schedule.

Tips And Considerations

  • All tables on the page, such as the schedules table and the tables on the Life Cycle tab, support a scroll bar when multiple rows are displayed.
  • On the lifecycle graph, the ordered and fulfilled bars are calculated using the purchase price, whereas the invoiced bar is calculated using the invoice price. Therefore, slight variations could occur when the invoice price differs from the purchase price.
  • In this release, business rules aren't available for all regions or sections of the View PO page. However, you can use business rules to hide or show fields in these regions:
    • Header (region which shows the buyer, requester, and total)
    • Schedules Drawer: Product Details, Shipping and Delivery (for quantity-based lines), Invoice Controls, and Notes.
    • Additional Order Details
  • In this release, these fields won't be available to view on the Redwood page:
    • Funds Status
    • Recoverable and NonRecoverable Exclusive Tax (the sum of these values will be be shown as a single value - total tax)
    • Secondary Quantity, Secondary UOM, and Pricing UOM
  • The Order Life Cycle tab won't show data specific to these features:
    • Request Items That Are Priced in Their Secondary UOM
    • Create Purchase Orders with Retainage Terms
    • Create Work Confirmations for Purchase Orders with Progress Payment Schedules
