Print purchase orders

This activity produces the purchase order documentation. Purchase orders can be printed.

Purchase orders documentation cannot be produced for:

If your system is set to print copies of these documents then the copies are automatically sent to print for orders that are not on hold. If you are using order authorisation a copy of the order is sent to print when the order is authorised. If you are not using order authorisation a copy of the new or amended order is sent to print once you save an order.

Order documentation can be produced using a number of options. You can select all documents pending print, amended documents pending print, documents for a particular supplier or for a single order.

To segregate those documents that have been printed and those pending print, the system marks the orders accordingly. If you select either the all, amended or by supplier option, the system only prints those orders pending print provided they are neither on hold or unauthorised. The single order option, provides a means to reprint the documentation, provided the order is authorised and is not on hold.

  1. Select the type of document production required.
  2. Select the order(s) for print using the on-screen options (remember that you can use the single order to reprint). The order(s) associated with the selection criteria specified appear in the list below the options.
