To enter product information on the Purchase Order Screen, you can directly type the information into the Item Area.

One handy way of entering products is to click on the "Look-up" button.  (The "Look-up" button is just to the right of the "Toggle" button, shown below.)  This brings up a special module which allows you to select from items previously ordered.  For more information, see Look-up.  (The Look-up button is an AnyPO II feature).

You can also click on the small, light blue "Add" button just above the Item Area on the Main Purchase Order Screen.  This button will add a new row to the Item Area and bring up a pop-up list of products in your Stock Ordering Database.  Select the desired product, and the information will pasted in the new row.

If you'd like overwrite an existing product, place your cursor on the row of the product you want to overwrite and click the light blue "Place" button just above the item area.

You can also enter product information by placing your cursor in the "QUAN" or "CAT #" Column.  To bring up the pop-up list: press Ctrl+L (for list) or double-click the mouse.  A list of all of the products in your Stock Ordering Database will appear.  Select the proper product and the item's name and price will automatically be entered in the item row.

Two additional ways of bringing up a list of products is to: 1) place your cursor in the Quantity or Catalog # column and select EDIT from the Menu Bar and choose PASTE FROM LIST; or 2) right click the mouse and select "Vendor or Stock List" from the Speed Menu.

You can enter multi-line products.  There's a complete description on how to do that here.

Finally, you also have the choice of entering product information on the Alternative Stock Ordering Screen.  (Among other purposes, the Alternative Stock Ordering Screen is where you enter fractional quantities like 8.5 gallons of fuel or 20.5 pounds of fertilizer or similar.)  You can access it by clicking on the light blue "Toggle" button, located just above the Item Area.
