Print Format - POUPFO

The Purchasing (PO) Print Format (POUPFO) page is used to define the Purchase Order layout. Each Format ID is unique and built line by line. It populates specific character numbers within a line, and displays data for a particular Item ID number. A list of Item IDs is listed below for reference. After a Format ID is composed, use the PO Print Purchase Order (POPO) utility to print the Format ID, adjust the details, reprint, and adjust again until the format is correct.

After you are satisfied with the results, it is recommended to take a screenshot of the settings to reference for future formats based on the same ID or to restore the ID.

The Detail portion of this form is used to define the body of the form. The details specify costs, quantities, or any combination of Field Item IDs for generating a purchasing-related form.  Line Numbers (Line No) on the page are used to define items, for example header or footer information, to be printed on the part of the form that is not involved with repetitive detail.

Format ID: A two-character code identifying the PO form stock defined.  To set up and use a default Format ID for printing Purchase Orders, place the desired Format ID in the PO General Information (POUPGN) page, Default Printing Format. For the printing process, the default value is per NUUPJBQS; place the Format ID within the default setting for question PO0D.

Description: A description of the PO form stock. The limit is 30 characters.

Continuation Format: If an import text file is to be associated with this format, an additional Purchase Order format can be created for the text when it will continue to print. Enter the two-character code identifier for the continuation format in this field.

Import Format: If an import text file is to be associated with this format, an additional Purchase Order format can be created to print the additional text. Enter the two-character format identifier in this field. The use of this field will not begin to print the text on the same form as the Purchase Order items have printed. It will instead form-feed to an additional sheet and begin to print the text using the import text format definition. The system will reference the format based on the entry in this field.

Import Start: If an import text file is to be associated with this format and the text will begin to print after the Purchase Order items have printed and thus, should not form feed to a new format, enter the starting position in this field. The system uses the continuation format to continue printing additional text if it spans to additional pages.

Import Len: This field indicates the length of the import text file. It affects the print cutoff length.

Detail Start Line: Enter the line number for the first printable detail line number on the form. While the field accepts a 5-digit number, the average page may hold about 28 lines, less the number of lines used for the form's reporting features, for example Customer ID, purchase order number, and order total.

Number of Detail Lines: The total number of detail lines to appear on the form. Maximum detail lines may need to be adjusted for multi-page POs.

PreNumbered Form?: Select if the POs have PO Numbers preprinted on them.

Quote Format?: Select if this is to be a quotation format.

Detail Line

The Detail portion of this form is used to define how the repetitive item detail, the body of the form, is printed.

Item: Enter the Item ID of the field to place on this Line No.

Start: Enter the starting position on the line (001 - 132) for the Item field on the form.

Len: Enter the length of the field (number of characters) to be printed for the Item on this Line No.

Header and Footer

Line No: For the form being defined, enter the line number on which to place the Item. Items, for example header or footer information, are printed on the part of the form that is not involved with repetitive detail. You can add multiple lines and you can place multiple items on the same line by entering different Start values to adjust where on the line they begin.

Item: Enter the Item ID of the field to place on this Line No.

Start: Enter the starting position on the line (001 - 132) for the Item field on the Purchase Order.
