Recent Vendor Orders

Once a vendor order has been created or a master order has been parsed into one or more vendor orders, they can be found in the Recent Vendor Orders screen accessed from the Purchasing menu.  In this screen, each order has one or more processing options that can be selected, depending on the order’s status and the user’s security access. Authorized users can process orders and view uploaded file attachments or payment information for an order.   

Orders in this screen are grouped by status. To find a particular order, click on one of the status bins or click the Funnel (Filters) button to access the screen filters. (The screen can be filtered by any column.)  {Note}Closed: The number of orders displayed on this screen is based on the "View Transactions for last ____ post cycles" (General) preference defined in Enterprise Manager.

To select which columns will display, click on the drop-down arrow at the right of any column header and select "Columns" from the pop-up menu. The user will be able to select the columns that appear on the screen. Columns can also be dragged and dropped to rearrange the order in which they appear.
