Update PO Homepage
This is the starting page for updating inventory part counts. The page has two main steps. The first step deals with selecting the location. The second step deals with choosing from an existing unpaid update PO or creating a new update PO. The second step is also where you tell the system what vendor to use for the updates. Each PO may contain multiple updates and multiple vendors. An update PO is a special PO that allows quantities and costs to be updated. Even though the underlying tool or document will be a PO, we highly recommend that you come here to this page to work with it (instead of going to the PO homepage). There is some special code, math, and page flow that is specific for updating inventory counts and values.

Once you start using the page, to reset the page back to step one, choose the link by the location name that says "choose different location". This will reset the page to step 1.

If you would like to create a new update PO, complete step one (choose a location) and then look for the create new link at the top of the page. This is an automatic process and will create a special PO that is not vendor specific (you can use the update PO for multiple vendors if needed). It will then show up in the list of possible update PO's to use.

Once a PO is marked as paid, it will automatically fall off of the active update PO list. This helps protect values that have already been recorded and have been booked towards cost of goods sold or some other type of write-off, shrinkage, or inventory account from being used by mistake. If you need to create a new PO, use the link that is provided after step 1 of the process.
