This topic provides information about purchase orders generated for POS direct ship line items.
Follow your normal process for generating a purchase order (PO) from POS order transactions (using GPO, Buyers List, etc.).
Once a PO is created, the PO Header window displays a D in the third position of the Codes field and the Special Ship To field points to Special Instructions. That window includes the name and address of the customer from the POS order transaction. The POS order transaction number displays in the Alt PO# field. The following is an example of the PO Header window.
Receive and finalize the PO as you normally do. Any changes to cost will be reflected on the POS order transaction. The Receiving Report (RRP) indicates items as direct ship. The QOH is not updated, since the items went directly from the vendor to the customer and were never stocked in your store. If you change cost during receiving, the cost is updated in the POS order transaction.
If you have Alerts set up, an alert message is sent when the PO is received so that you know the POS order transaction can now be invoiced.
If you use the Accounts Payable application, the vouchers are marked with "RRP-DS" to indicate direct ship. The A/P Posting Report indicates "DS" for vouchers from direct ship purchase orders.
