This is the program for printing the entered purchase orders, which are then sent to the supplier as an order. Those documents that meet DI requirements, are transferred to the Data Interchange database to be sent via the DI function to the supplier. A purchase order can be printed as many times as that order number is selected.
For documents to be selected for DI transmission (i.e. receiving/sending) you must establish certain DI data for the customer/supplier. All documents sent/received can also be printed on paper, outlining detailed information, if such has been requested on the supplier/customer/document level in the Business partner file. All documents are, however, automatically printed on an DI log printout outlining basic information.
Note: If a batch-controlled item, one extra line per batch is printed if several batches exist for the item line.
For DI purchase orders, the same handling above applies when the DI purchase order is created, with the difference that records are created into the purchase order data interchange database instead of being printed.
For changed DI purchase orders, the same handling above applies, but only for lines that have been added to the purchase order. Extended text description will never be created for a line where, e.g. quantity or dispatch time has been changed.
- Selection
- In the fields below you define the limits for the information to be included in the selection. If you leave the fields Handler, Order number and Supplier blank, all orders not previously printed, i.e. status is 10, will be printed.
- Handler
- Enter the handler’s reference from the Signature table. If a handler is entered, only purchase orders with status 10 (order not printed) for this handler will be printed. If a handler is entered, only purchase orders with status 10 (order not printed) for this handler will be printed.
- Order number
- Enter the order number(s) of the purchase order(s) that you want to include in the printout.
- Supplier
- Enter the supplier number(s) of the supplier(s) that you want to include in the printout.
- Changed DI orders
- This field is only valid for DI orders. Set this field to YES if you only want to include changed purchase orders which should be sent through Data Interchange. Otherwise, set it to NO. Note: Any DI purchase orders are transferred to the Data Interchange database and could also be printed on paper if requested on the supplier/document level in the Business partner file.

- Printer queue
- If this is the first print-out of the day, the system will default the output queue defined in your iSeries user profile. If it is not, then the id of the printer that was previously used will be defaulted. The value in this field may be changed. Another printer may be selected.
- Number of copies
- Enter the number of print-outs that are required.
- Hold on spool file
- The default setting is NO. This means that a printout will be generated as soon as the printer is available. If this field is set to YES the print-out will be held in the output queue. To release these the system commands WRKSPLF or WRKOUTQ must be entered.
