Creating Purchase Orders

Step 1: Complete the Purchase Order Entry Window

1. Select Transactions > Purchasing > Purchase Order Entry.
2. Complete the window. See the Microsoft Dynamics GP Purchase Order Processing Manual for more information.

Note
When copying a purchase order, Service and Job Cost information will not copy. Only the Microsoft Dynamics GP information will copy, and the Product Indicator field will be changed to Unbilled for all line items.

Step 2: Enter Job-Related Information

1. From the Product Indicator drop-down list, select Job Cost. Unbilled is for Microsoft Dynamics GP general ledger transactions. 

   If you marked the setup option to have the job number or cost code from the last line item entered as the default entry in the line you're entering, that information will already be entered. See Choosing Setup Options.
2. Enter a Job Number and a Cost Code.
3. Select the expansion button attached to the Item field to open the Purchasing Item Detail Entry window.
4. Use the lookup in the Text ID field to add standard text to the purchase order. You can also use the expansion button to enter text to the line item. While they function similarly, the Text ID field allows more space than the Microsoft Dynamics GP Comment ID field. The description prints on the blank paper purchase order format.

Step 3: Commit the Purchase Order

1. Select Commit to save the purchase order and update the committed costs in Job Cost. If you plan to print/email the purchase order, you do not need to commit. 

   The PO Status field shows New if the purchase order has not been printed, Open after the purchase order has been printed, and Modified if it has been changed after printing.
2. Select File > Print. Upon printing and/or emailing the purchase order, the costs become committed costs for the job. Once a purchase order is committed, taxes are included with the item's cost in the Committed Costs column in the Job Status window and in the Actual column in the Cost Codes Detail window. To view the tax portion of the costs, you can zoom on the appropriate cost column in the Job Status window. Landed costs are not included in the committed cost amount.
