Because you do not typically know the actual shipment date of a direct P/O until after you receive the vendor's invoice, you sometimes need to change the shipping date on a closed P/O. After applying an invoice to an open direct P/O, use one of the following hot keys to display the Purchase Order Entry screen.
View – Displays in view-only mode the P/O Entry screen for the selected P/O.
If there are no split terms applied and no payment on the order, you can edit the Pay On Date while in view-only mode. This functionality lets users use this screen the same way as the A/P Preview Queue. For example, you change the Pay On date when an invoice is old and in a closed period.
Edit – Displays in edit mode the P/O Entry screen for the selected P/O.
Once on this screen, use the ShipDates hot key to change the shipping date. For more information, see Purchasing Overview.
