PO Need Date feature
PO Need Date feature A PO Need Date has been added to the system. This allows for recording a Need Date at the time the PO is created. In order to use this feature, it must first be turned on in the Company Control 4 screen of the System Control Maintenance module. That control appears as follows: PO Need Date Required (located at bottom of first column). Set this control to “Y” for yes to enable. Additionally, in the User Control 5 screen, the existing control, Allow Purchase Order Maintenance, controls whether a User can edit this field in PO Maintenance, although it will be accessible on a new PO Line created from the Order Entry module, regardless of how this control is set. When a Need Date is added, it will display in several areas/reports throughout the PO system. With regard to the Estimated Arrival Date, based on order status, you will either see the Need Date referenced with an “N” or the Arrival Date with an “A.”
