Looking Up and Modifying Items on Purchase Orders

In the Purchasing and Receiving window, the Posting screen, you can modify an item on a PO by simply double clicking it, and then modifying it as needed. However, if the item isn't visible on the screen, you can look up the item if you know its SKU, manufacturer part number, alternate part number, or UPC number. Or, if you don't know which PO the item is on, you can use the Purchasing Viewer to look it up.

If you change an item on a PO that is on a POS order or special order, a warning displays to inform you that the POS transaction does not change accordingly.  If you proceed with the change, this fact is logged in the Special Order Tracking Log that prints nightly on your bootlog.

Click one of the following to take you to the procedure steps:
