Purchase Order Entry Report Concepts

The Short-Buy Report shows you which items you need to order. When an item is a status 6 backorder, it appears on the Short-Buy Report. A status 6 indicates that the ticket has not yet been through the short-buy process. When a status 6 ticket goes through the short-buy process, it becomes a status 7.

 

You can also print the Short-Buy Report as a Custom Order Entry Report through the (T) Order Entry Selectors screen. The (T) screen offers greater flexibility. In addition, when printed through the (T) screen, the Short-Buy Report includes both status 6 and 7 tickets that are not assigned to a purchase order. When printed as a Standard Purchase Order Entry Report through the (SR) screen, this report includes only status 6 backorders that are not assigned to a purchase order. Most importantly, when you print the Short-Buy Report through the (SR) screen, some items might not be included on the short-buy and could be repeatedly left off purchase orders.

This report includes the following information for each item:
