Purchase Order Category

A purchase order category is a classification term used for purchase orders. You enter the purchase order codes in certain positions (of the field) for different meanings, using max 15 characters or positions. When classifying by purchase order category in lists, you can use "Underline" ( _ ) and the percentage sign ( % ) to search for characters in a certain position in the purchase order category. You can update help text for the category field in the Categories procedure in the Global Settings module. This text help text can be viewed by clicking the button to the right of the field, or by using the shortcut key F3.

Category Management

It is possible to activate category management for different types of categories in the system. In the Category Management procedure in the Global Settings module it is then possible to enter more advanced help texts for categories. There you can divide the category field into different sections, enter a descriptive text for the category components and also create selection lists with valid values for each category component. These will then become selectable in the drop-down which will be displayed in this field.
