OR

Requisition Maintenance (IRM) to enter requisitions and release them to create purchase orders.

OR

You may also have run these programs in this sequence:

  1. Receiver Maintenance (IRC) to receive a purchase order.

    AND conditionally

    Receiving and Inspection (IRI) to enter inspection results if items require inspection or to receive if you are using dock-to-stock receiving.

  2. AP Invoice Entry (NE) to enter vendor invoices and print the AP Invoice Register.
