Catalog Descriptions

Users may either configure the catalog description within the PEUPPR record or add it manually after configuring a designated space for the catalog number field on a PO. The first option involves adding details to the Product ID within PEUPPR.

Linking the Catalog Description to the Product ID to Print Automatically When Available

The catalog number and related text is linked to fields within PEUPPR. The purchase order must be made for the Vendor ID stated within PEUPPR, Vendor/Product Info tab, Vendor field (pe_peprod_dtl.pe_id). The field titled "Vend. Prod. Cd" (pe_peprod_dtl.pep_vend_prod_no) must be populated as well. Once the Product ID is added to the PO in POUPPR, this can be printed as the first line of the description on the purchase order or in a separate column depending on system setup.

Designating a Spot for Catalog Description on the PO via the Format ID

The other option is to declare the catalog description on the PO within the Catalog Number field, but this option requires the PO's Format ID (defined in POUPFO) to include a designated space for printing the catalog description. The Purchase Order is a custom design defined and managed within the PO Print Format (POUPFO) page.

Common code POPO/Catalog may be used to add a prefix before the data within the Catalog field (poi_catalog column of poi_item_dtl).
