Purchase Order Entry Totals Attributes

The Totals tab displays the shipping data, such as cost of shipping and handling, taxes due, and freight factors. Use the Totals tab to apply payment on a generation. The earliest available order generation displays, by default, but you can change the ship date to display the totals for another generation by clicking the Change Ship Date button. In addition, you can enter charges such as freight or tax that are associated with the ship date generation. The window is divided into ship date totals area on the left and payment details on the right. You can use the Number Of Digits Of Accuracy For Product Weightcontrol maintenance record to indicate if you want to display decimals on the Totals window.

The Totals tab displays automatically when you exit an order, if freight terms are required. Use the menus to view additional payment information about the order. You can click the Totals tab from the Body or Header tabs to display the Totals tab. By default, the system bills incoming freight to any tagged sales order.

Note: Costs only display for users assigned the COST.PO.VIEW authorization key. You must be assigned the POE.WRITER.POCOST authorization key to view costs on a purchase order if you are not the original writer on the purchase order.
