Customer Purchase Order Information

The purchase order information that is or can be provided by a customer when placing a sales order includes both header information and line item information.  PO header information applies to all lines on the customer purchase order and this information is stored in the header of the sales order that you create for the customer purchase order.  PO Line item information applies to specific lines from the customer purchase order and this information is stored in the individual sales order lines that you create for the customer purchase order.

Header Information

The Customer PO Information that can be specified in each sales order header includes the following.

Customer PO NO:  The number of the purchase order that is generated by the customer.  This PO number is used to create a sales order in the StreamV system.  The customer PO NO may be numeric or it can contain ASCII characters (i.e. verbal, per John, etc).

Customer Fulfillment PO:  The fulfillment PO is an optional PO number that is tied to the ShipTo Company from the order instead of the Bill To Company.  The fulfillment PO is used to store the PO issued to the customer by the company that the customer is having you ship the goods to (this can be an end user if you are selling to a distributor or another customer who has you directly ship items to their customers for them).  The Customer Fulfillment PO can contain both ASCII and numeric characters.

Customer PO Date:  The date of the customer purchase order (the date the PO was placed with you).  The customer PO date is a date field.

Line Item Information

The Customer PO Information that can be specified in each sales order line item includes the following.

Customer PO NO:  The number of the purchase order that is created by the customer.  The PO number in each sales order line item should match the PO number entered in the header of the sales order.  During sales order entry the system automatically copies the customer purchase order number or PO NO from the sales order header into each of the lines that you enter for the sales order.

Customer PO Line:  The line number from the customer purchase order.  This information may or may not be specified by the customer.  The line number should be numeric as it points to the specific PO line from the customer purchase order. 

Customer PO Price:  The price for the item from the customer PO.  This may or may not match the system calculated “Target” price for the item.   StreamV uses a standard routine to calculate the price for a particular customer, item, quantity and optional contract# and this routine is used by the system during manual order entry and during edi processing.  The customer PO price should be numeric and can be up to 4 decimals in precision (based on the field mask that you have defined for the sales order price field on your system).

Customer PO Item Number:  The customer item number for the item on the purchase order.  This item number may or may not match your internal item number for the product.  The StreamV system allows you to set up cross reference records that can be used to automatically identify the house item number for the product being ordered by the customer based on a customer supplied item number for the item.  The customer item number can contain ASCII and numeric information.

The following table shows the field types and sizes that are supported in StreamV for customer purchase order information.
