How it works...

When you specify the items that you want to purchase, and the supplier from whom you want to purchase them on the Purchase Order Workbench form, the system combines items for each supplier on a separate purchase order. The information for each detail line comes from master information for the item, or from procurement instructions for the supplier, if these have been defined. You can review the orders that the system generates by using the Order Detail form.

There's more...

If the supplier has an Internet home page set up featuring the items that they offer, you can preview supplier and item information in the electronic catalog before entering the order.
