Creating Purchase Orders

You create a purchase order by creating a purchase order header and adding lines for the titles you want to include on the purchase order. You can create PO lines from scratch, or you can create them by copying existing PO lines, purchase requests, or titles in staff searching.

Before you order an item, you should search your catalog to make sure you do not already own the title. (For information, see Approving PO Lines.) Once you identify one or more items to order, you can add the items to a new or existing purchase order.

You create a purchase order with the New PO option on the PO menu. You add lines to a purchase order with the New button in the PO window. Each time you add a PO line, Horizon updates all totals on the PO window immediately after you add the line or make any changes. Also, if the currency for the Price amount is not in the Base amount, Horizon displays the different currency code in parentheses to the right of the price.
