Just above the Item Area on the Main Purchase Order Screen are five small, light blue buttons: Add, Place, Toggle, Look-up and a small button with "C" on it.

POItem

These buttons are used for entering product information:

Add.  If you click on the "Add" button, a new row will be added to the Item Area and a pop-up list of stock ordering products will appear.  The pop-up list will show all the products that you've entered into the Stock Ordering Database.  Once a product is selected from the list, it will be placed in the newly created row in the Item Area.  It's a quick way entering products. Just click "Add," select a product, and the product is entered.  (Note that if there is already a blank row at the end of the item list, the "Add" button will use the existing blank row.  This is done to conserve space in the database file.)

POAddPlace

Place.  Place is used when you want to "place" a product in the Item Area.  It's usually utilized when you want to overwrite a product already on the item list.  To do so, position your cursor on the row of the product you want to overwrite, then click the "Place" button.  The stock pop-up list will appear.  Select a product and click on "Paste."  The new selection will overwrite the old product on the list.  You can also place your cursor on a blank row and the selected product will be pasted on that row.

Toggle. Click on "Toggle" to activate the Alternative Product Entry Screen.

Look-up. (AnyPO II - III Feature)  This button activates the "Look-up" dialog box.  The Look-up dialog box displays a list of previously ordered items from which you can select.  The items that you select are pasted in the Item Area.  For more information, see: Look-up Dialog Box.

C  Button. The "C" in C-button means "Column" adjustment.  You can use this button to adjust the size of the columns in the item area.  When you click on the C-button, a set of column labels will appear at the top of the item area.  By dragging the lines between the column names with the mouse, the columns can be narrowed or widened.  To lock this setting in place, click on the C-button again.  The column names will disappear and the new column sizing will be retained as you continue work in AnyPO.

You can return to default column widths by refreshing the screen.  To do a Refresh, select ORDER TOOLS and REFRESH SCREEN from the Menu Bar.  Whenever you do a Refresh, the purchase order screen is re-drawn in its original format and the column widths will return to the default sizes.
