Entering a Purchase Order - Date Card

Trans. Date
Paste Special    Current Date
The date the Purchase Order is to be issued. Hansa enters the current date as a default.

Plan. Del.
Paste Special    Current Date
Specify here the date on which you need to receive the goods into stock. The format of this field is determined by the Planned Delivery setting. Available options are free text, date, week number or year-week (4 characters).

A separate Planned Delivery Date can also be specified for any of the Order rows (on flip D).

Pur. Ref.
This field can be used if you need to identify the Purchase Order by any means other than the Purchase Order Number. The Reference is shown in the 'Purchase Orders: Browse' window, allowing you to search for a Purchase Order with a particular Reference.

Payment Terms
Paste Special    Payment Terms setting, Sales/Purchase Ledger
Default taken from    Supplier
Payment Terms entered here will be transferred to any Purchase Invoices raised from the Order. In addition to simply ensuring the correct Payment Terms appear on Purchase Orders (in the Language of the Supplier if necessary), using the correct Payment Terms will result in Hansa looking after the implications of an early settlement discount, if appropriate.

Attn.
Default taken from    Supplier
Record here your contact at the Supplier company.

Our Ref
Use this field if you need to identify the Purchase Order by means other than the Purchase Order Number. A default will be taken from the Our Ref field on the 'Ser Nos' card of the Person record of the current user. References entered will appear on any printed Purchase Orders.

Objects
Paste Special    Object register, System module
Default taken from    Supplier
