Background: PO Inquiry

Use the PO Inquiry (VOI) program to display a summarized purchase order. See Road Map for work flow.

This inquiry does not display the actual purchase order. Instead it displays a summarized PO, which includes the most important fields. The inquiry displays selected fields from the:

  • PO header, including the vendor name and number, ship-to type, ship-to number, shipping method, PO status, and other information.

  • PO lines, including the item ordered, wanted and promised dates, quantity ordered and received, and other information.

  • If the purchase order/receiver resides in the archive file, History displays in the upper right corner.

To display complete details of the actual purchase order, run the PO Detail Inquiry (VOQ) program.

The PO Inquiry program drills to the:

  • Receiver if the PO has been received.

  • Demand order if this PO fills demand from a sales or manufacturing order.
