Set PO Options

You use the PO Options dialog box to set several purchase order defaults.

To set PO options:

In the Organizations (SP) application, select the organization for which you want to set PO options.
From the Select Action menu, select Purchasing Options, then select PO Options. The PO Options dialog box opens.
Select or clear the following check boxes as needed:
Require Approval to Convert PR to PO or Contract?. Select this checkbox if you want the system to require a PR to be approved before it can be converted to a PO or contract. Clear the check box if you do not want the system to require approval.
Close PR/RFQ When All PR/RFQ Lines Have Been Copied to POs or Contracts? Select this checkbox if you want the system to automatically change the PR or RFQ status to CLOSED when all PR/RFQ lines have been copied to POs.
Add Standard Service Costs to Direct Issue Lines Only. Select this check box if you want the system to add the standard service costs only to direct issue lines. If the check box is cleared (the default), the system adds the costs to all issue lines.
Create Approved PO from Contract on PR Approval? Select this check box if you want the system to automatically create an approved PO from a contract when the PR is approved. If the check box is cleared, the PO must be created manually.

Allow Receipts Against Services by Default. Select this check box if you want the system to automatically allow receipts for services.
Allow the Generation of Special Order Items. Select this check box if you want the system to allow special order inventory items to be generated when a user orders items from vendors that are not currently in the inventory system.
Enable Option to Automatically Close PO's on Invoice Approval? Select this check box if you want the system to automatically close the PO when the invoice status changes to approved.
