When you need items from a vendor, you can enter a purchase order to record the order. When you receive items that were ordered on a purchase order, you can record the receipt of the items with the procedure described in the Receive From a Purchase Order chapter later in this section.
To display or print the list of purchase orders for which merchandise has not yet been received, see Report Outstanding P.O.’s from the Payables Listings & Reports menu.
If the purchase order is for a special order (a catalog sale), see the Create a Special Order chapter in section 2 for information on this procedure.
