A Purchase Order (aka PO) is a document issued by a buyer committing to pay the seller for specific products or services to be delivered in the future. The advantage to the buyer is the ability to place an order without immediate payment. From the seller’s perspective, it reduces credit risk, since the buyer is obligated to pay once the products or services have been delivered. Each PO has a unique number associated with it that helps both buyer and seller track delivery and payment.  

This page lists each unique Purchase Order item on New and Released Purchase Orders. The purpose of this page is to view line items on open Purchase Orders. 

(lightbulb) This list view also contains columns for each Attribute that is set up for the 'AP Purchasing' and 'Items' attribute types. Because these are user defined, they are not included in the default view but can be added a saved layout. AP Purchasing and Items attributes are not included in the help documentation.

This tool allows users to select a previously saved layout, create a new layout, save changes to a layout, forget/delete a layout and/or assign a saved layout as the default for the page. Once changes are made to the layout, such as columns are added or removed, the user can click the Save Layout icon and save the changes to the column layout. The visibility of the Filter Row is also saved with a saved layout. The new layout can also be set as the default. This is useful for creating specific views to separate master files or transaction types (i.e. Invoice specific vs. Credit Memo specific).  Default layouts can be removed by clicking the 'Set as Default' button again when the current default layout is selected.  

Please note that existing saved grid layouts will display the Filter Row as hidden by default.
