The Header Totals area of the PO Worksheet provides totals by PO, Distribution Center (DC), or Store. This area of the purchase order is display only, and is divided into three sub-areas: PO area, DC area, and Store area. Note that the totals in these areas only include items that have a value in the corresponding field that creates the total. For example If an item does not have a weight associated with it, then the Total Weight figure does not include that item. If your vendor has minimum order requirements for weight, units, etc., it is important to populate the corresponding field for all items you order from this vendor.
