Text Processing, Purchase Order

Explanation

When ordering a no-number part, i.e., a part that is not entered in the Part Catalog, you must enter a description of the part in the Description column on the Purchase Order/No Part Order Lines tab. A short description can be entered directly in the column; however, this is impractical when entering a longer part description. In that case, it is better to use an editor. Either you can enter a longer description on an already entered order line or you can use an empty order line. Reach the editor by selecting the purchase order line in question and click Text Processing command.

You can enter a free text that is used as a description when the part is purchased. You can also type several pages, link phrases, and switch between the order lines by using the buttons Previous and Next.

Prerequisites

• A purchase order header must have been entered and saved.
• The order line in question must be selected (even if the line is empty).
• If a standard phrase will be added, the phrase must have been entered on the Document Text Administration/Phrase page.

System Effects

A description of the part appears in the Description column on the purchase order line.
