Purchase Order Print - Purpose
PO630E
The Purchase Order Print program (PO630E) is a batch process which prints purchase order documents. The program may be run asynchronously for one purchase order (print immediately) or in off-line mode for all purchase orders (print at end of day). The mode is determined by a parameter passed to the control language program from either the Purchase Order Maintenance program (PO180E) for immediate processing or from the Processing Menu (CFSPMENU) for end-of-day processing. The reports are printed at the output queue specified on the purchase order header record. If that output queue is blank, QPRINT is used as the default.
The purchase order is divided into three sections:
· Header information, containing vendor information, ship-to and bill-to addresses, and general order information
· Line-level information, containing the specific part number, order quantity, and other information
· Totals
The ordered quantity, purchasing unit of measure and due date are provided at the release level. Comments and messages that are to be printed on the purchase order appear at the header level and at individual line levels.
A Multi-language facility allows the user to print these documents in different languages. In this case, a Language code is retrieved from the Customer Master file (ARCUSTP). If the Language code is different from the Base Language, the Literal Translation file (CF270ML1) and the Part Master file (DE100M) are accessed in order to display the Literals in the appropriate language. For more information about Multi-language capabilities, refer to the Multi-language Key Concept in the Common Features User Manual.
This program also formats the EDI PO Transaction files (PO630AP1-4) if an EDI transaction is requested for the purchase order.
