When editing a large purchase order do you find it inconvenient to have to page up and down numerous times to get to a certain line to edit? Once you edit the line and press F10-Done the display starts over again at Screen #1 items 1 through 3. To edit line item 25 you have to page down 8 pages and then edit any of those 3 line items, but when you're done you're put back at Screen #1 again.

To use OPL select P – PROCESSING OPTIONS from the Purchase Order Main Menu. At the Processing Options menu select A – ENTER/CHANGE PURCHASE ORDERS. Once you have made this selection you may then select E – EDIT A PURCHASE ORDER. Select the Purchase Order to edit as usual. Once a PO has been selected there will be a new option at the bottom of the second screen, F7 – EDIT. The user may either enter a line item number to edit or select the F2-Lookup.

The user may either enter a line item number to edit or select the F2-Lookup. In the example below the user may enter any valid line item number, not just in the range of 4-6 on the current screen. Item 91 on screen 30 could be edited directly, if the purchase order contained so many lines. If the line does not exist for that PO, nothing will happen, and the user will be prompted again for a line item to edit. The lookup does not show the line item number because it is not a part of the PO line record. However, it is easily searchable to confirm the proper selection. A sample lookup is shown below:

If 2 is entered, the PO line corresponding to that number is brought up to edit. After editing and pressing F10, the user will now be on Screen #1 displaying items 1-3.

Other lines may then be edited in like manner, either using the lookup, or directly entering the line number from the Receiving Check List report. After completing the edit of the line you are left on the Screen in which that item appears rather than being brought back to the Screen #1 and having to start over again.

The new enhancement OPL will add "line item" numbers to the Receiving Check List found in the Reports menu of Purchase Orders. These are shown in "No." column below
