Purchase Orders occasionally need to be ‘forced closed’ (i.e. back-ordered goods are not going to be shipped from the vendor). This functionality allows the PO’s to be closed by a date range. To activate this functionality, the following parameter must be set. Go to:
-
Purchase Order (Module 7)
-
System Management Functions (Task 32)
-
Modify Parameter Files (Sub-task 22)
- Purchase Entry & PO – General (Option 1)
-
Modify Parameter Files (Sub-task 22)
-
System Management Functions (Task 32)
Look for the parameter: PO’CLOSE’PASSWORD=
By entering a value on the parameter, it activates Sub-task #3 -- Force Close P/O’s by Date Range -- in Purchase Order Entry & Editing (Task 1). When using this sub-task, the user will be prompted for the password. Also a report is created of the date, time, user, date range and PO’s closed. Contact us to get the details on how to locate and run the report.
