PORC - yy
Causing Statements to Print Before/After Item Detail
The second common code that enables statements to be associated with Requisitions and ultimately, printed on Purchase Orders also causes text to print either before or after the item information. The advantage of this method is that statements greater than 30 characters may be printed and they do not need to be referenced on the PO Format Definition screen. For statements longer than 150 characters, a text file containing up to 20 lines can be created. The name of the text file is then entered into the Associated Code 1 of this common code. Make sure when creating a new file to pad the file to 132, for example: ifas/admin/perm$ pad 132 mtv]
Note: The common code entry shown below is used to enter Requisition Code values. The description entered in the Long Description field is the description of the Requisition Code that will print on Purchase Orders.
