PO Search 1-2

Deacom offers two user-defined purchasing search fields or categories. Each category contains a list which may have an infinite number of entries. Search categories can be used to define or select additional criteria regarding Vendors or Purchase Orders. For example, a category named "Vendor Type" could be used to select a type of retail, service, or both.

Search categories appear on the Vendor record, which provide the default selections during Purchase Order entry, and are available for printing on purchasing forms such as PO labels, requisitions, and purchase order confirmations. They are also available on the pre-filter within Purchasing > Order Reporting to assist with searching and sorting information. Search categories are required fields and must have at least one default entry for each category. Users not wishing to use the purchasing search boxes may enter a default value of "None". Captions for the PO Search 1-2 items are managed via System > Maintenance > Captions.
