Purchase Order Lines

Adding a Line to a PO

Lines can be added to a PO using the following process:

• Click the Add Line link in the Line Info Tab

  

• Select an available part number from the drop down or enter in a part not on file and NONFILE will display to the right of the dropdown

  • A part on file will have all relevant fields from the part file pull into the details for the PO

  • If alternate part #s have already been set up/associate with the main part file number, typing those in will reference and allow the user to pull the part number based on that alternate number

• Add an alternate part # if needed and this is generally a vendor cross reference number if the vendor’s part number differs from the main file part number assigned in RTA

  

  

• Once the part number is pulled into the line, a user can associate an Alt Part# with the main part file by clicking in the Alt Part # field, entering the alternate part number, and clicking the check mark

  • This number will now cross-reference the main part file number and can be used in the future to locate the main part file number when adding a line to a PO

• Description: If the part in on-file then the description will pull automatically from the part record. If it is NON-FILE then you can put in a Description of the part on the PO line

• Add the Order Quantity

• Add or Edit the Order Price depending on what is displayed

• Add a Tax Rate if necessary (one may already be present if a tax rate has been set up in the vendor file or facility file)

• Add Freight charge if necessary

• If the switch to use account numbers is turned on and the part being added to the line has an account number assigned as part of it’s file, that account number will fill in automatically

  • If the part file does not have an account number listed, the system will use the default account number set up in the system switches

• Add a Work Order Number if the part being ordered will be posted directly to an active work order upon receipt

  • Also add the Work Order Number and Line Number of the assigned work order where the part will post upon receipt

• Add any pertinent Line Notes needed for the order

  

• Click the Add button in the bottom footer section
