Purchase Order Creation - File - Post and Create EDI File

Use this option to create and post the purchase order as an electronic file to be sent to the supplier as an email message. You can print the purchase order as well.

 

Technical Tip

The supplier must have an email address setup in the Supplier master file (refer to "File - Supplier - Supplier"), and the user processing the file must have the correct user security.

  1. Process the purchase order to completion stage.

Refer to "Purchase Order Creation Overview" for the steps involved.

  1. Select FILE | POST AND CREATE EDI FILE.

Micronet displays a message asking if you want to print the purchase order.

  1. Select Yes if you want to print the purchase order as well as creating the EDI file, or select No if you don't want to print the purchase order.

If you selected Yes, Micronet displays the Select Output Device screen.

  1. Select whether you want the report displayed on screen, printed, saved to a specific type of file, faxed, or emailed in a specific format.

 

Reference

For more details on these options, refer to "Selecting the Output for Inquiries and Reports".

Micronet creates the EDI file, sends it, print or displays the purchase order if selected, then redisplays the Purchase Order Creation - Detail screen.

 

Technical Tip

The EDI files will be saved in the directory specified in your Registry. If there is no Registry setting for this directory, they will be saved to \Mnetlive\Data\PDA\EDI.
