Printing Purchase Orders

There are two ways to print a Purchase Order.
  1. While entering or inspecting a Purchase Order, click the Printer icon in the Button Bar or select 'Print' from the File menu. If you want to print to screen, click the Preview icon.

  2. Click the [Documents] button in the Master Control panel or select 'Documents' from the File menu. Double-click 'Purchase Orders' in the 'Documents' list window or highlight it and press the Enter key. Indicate the Purchase Order Number (or range of Purchase Order Numbers) to be printed and press [Run].
Whichever method is used, the Form used is determined as follows:
  1. Using the Form register in the System module, design the purchase order and name it "PURCHASE_ORDER". Use the 'Properties' function on the Operations menu to assign a Document Type of "Purchase Order". A sample Purchase Order Form is supplied with FirstOffice: this can be modified to suit your requirements. Full instructions for using the Form register can be found here.

  2. Change to the Stock module using the [Select Module] button in the Master Control panel.

  3. Click [Documents] in the Master Control panel or select 'Documents' from the File menu. The 'Documents' list window is opened: highlight 'Purchase Orders'.

  4. Select 'Define Document' from the Operations menu.

  5. In the subsequent window, enter "PURCHASE_ORDER" in the Form field of the first row (you can use 'Paste Special' to ensure the spelling is correct).

  6. Click [Save] to save the Purchase Order Form definition. From now on, the purchase order form that you have designed will be used, from the 'Documents' function and from the Printer icon.
