Use the following procedure to create all types of promotion orders, including sale orders, bulletin orders, and market bulletin orders.
In the Purchasing and Receiving window or Function MPO, create a purchase order as you normally would, except enter the following additional information on the Header screen:
in the Reference # field, enter the 4-digit bulletin number if you're creating a bulletin order, or the 2 or 3 digit sale code if you're creating a sale order.
if you are using the Promo Item Download feature, then in the Order Type field, select R (Promo Item Download PO). If you are not using this feature, leave this field blank.
Add the items to the purchase order as you normally would.
Promotional Item Download users: if you have downloaded promo item information via EFM (which downloads weekly bulletin and sale order information) or via EID (which downloads market bulletin information), the following occurs as you create your promotion order:
promotional costs are automatically entered in the cost field. Note: the system uses the "each" cost if available; otherwise, it uses the "case" cost divided by the amount in a case (the each cost will be higher than the divided case cost).
item descriptions are entered on items you don't stock (when you order the item by entering the item number in the Mfg#/Spcl field).
Transmit the order as you normally would (enter EPOD in the launch bar to access the Send Purchase Order window).
