Field Description
Print This prints the purchase order document on-line.

If Windows printing is not enabled and you selected to preview documents before printing them (see SYSPRO Printing) then you can select the email function from the Preview screen. The email address defined against the supplier is automatically used as the default address, but can be changed using the Send Email program.

Reprint This reprints the purchase order document on-line.

When you first raise a purchase order, you typically use this option when the print has failed (e.g. the paper jammed in the printer). All lines are reprinted and the purchase order is set to a status of 4 - printed.

When maintaining a purchase order, you typically reprint the order after receipting some of the lines (possibly to send an updated purchase order to the supplier).

You can indicate whether you want to reprint all lines including the completed (receipted) lines or only the outstanding lines by enabling the Reprint completed lines document format option (Purchase Order Document Format).

Preview Previews the document before you print it.
Alignment This prints the relevant document using test characters to verify that your stationery is correctly aligned in your printer. This typically applies to pre-printed continuous stationery.
Continue Order This returns to the main order entry screen to continue processing the order.
End Order This closes the order.
XML Export This generates a purchase order in XML format.

The document is output to the destination folder specified using the XML Document Control program. If you enter a different folder, it must already exist on file.

You can optionally select to email the order file to the supplier. Alternatively, you can use the Purchase Order Export program to create the XML file.

Email This emails the document (MS Word format only - Purchase Order Document Format) to the supplier using the Send Email program.

Standard document formats cannot be emailed and SRS document formats can only be emailed from the Preview screen.

Fax

This faxes the purchase order document to the supplier.

You can only select this function if the Office Automation & Messaging module is installed and against the operator you have enabled the Fax/mail integration is required option (Operator Maintenance).
