In some situations you may wish to copy the Item Area from one purchase order and paste it to another.  The Item Area appears on the Main PO Screen and contains the list of supplies or products that you are ordering.

To reach this function, select EDIT >> COPY ITEM AREA or EDIT >> PASTE ITEM AREA from the Menu Bar on top of the Main Purchase Order Screen.

Note that if you are creating a new purchase order, it easiest to use GO TO >> NEW PURCHASE ORDER >> COPY ITEM AREA.   However, this is the function you'll want to use if you have an existing purchase order and wish to add the item list from another purchase order.

This function also comes in handy if you maintain master PO's for designated jobs.  You can copy the Item Area from the individual purchase orders (associated with the job) to one master and use the master to keep track of all purchases.

To use the function, go to the purchase order which has the item list that you want to copy.  Select EDIT >> COPY ITEM AREA.

Then go to the purchase order to which you wish to paste the list.  Select EDIT >> PASTE ITEM AREA.  The list of items will appear on the PO.  If you already have some products entered in the Item Area, the copied list will appear just below the existing list.

AnyPO will remember the copied item list.  If you want to add it to another PO, select EDIT >> PASTE ITEM AREA again.  The same item list remains in memory until you copy a new list or you exit from the program.
