Purchase Orders
This is where you enter a purchase request for items from a vendor. When you post a Purchase Order, you do not actually update any accounting information. The accounting information is updated only when you actually receive the items on the purchase order through the Purchases/Receive Inventory task, or if you're using cash accounting, when you pay the vendor.
Note: The vendor must already be entered in Maintain Vendors before you can enter a purchase order. To enter a one-time purchase from a vendor you don't want to keep on record, use Payments and leave the Vendor ID field blank.
