Find Purchase Order from Look-up List

"Find Purchase Order from Look-up List" supplements AnyPO's search functions, providing an additional way to find a previously issued purchase order.  It is reached by selecting GO TO and FIND PO FROM LOOK-UP LIST.

The Look-up list looks exactly the same as the pop-up list that's used to paste vendor information on the Main Purchase Order Screen.  In the case of the Look-up list, however, after making a choice, AnyPO will take you to the selected purchase order.  To help distinguish the look-up mode from the paste mode, the button which activates the process is labeled "Find."

Once the Look-up list appears, you can type the first letter of the vendor's name and the list will advance to the first vendor starting with that letter.  By typing in the first letter again, the list will advance to the next vendor starting with that letter.  By repeatedly typing in the first letter, you can move through the list until you find the vendor you desire.

Or, if desired, you can change the order of the list by clicking on the radio buttons on the bottom of the dialog box.   You can have the list ordered by purchase order number (working from the most recent purchase orders to the oldest), by State/City, or alphabetically by Vendor Name.  If you click on Vendor Name (No Duplicates), the list will show only unique names, eliminating all duplicates.

When you use the Vendor Name (No Duplicates) option, the list shows only the first instance of the vendor.

When you use the State/City option, all vendors without a state (or province) and city will be listed first, followed by an ordered listing.  If you ship to different countries, vendors will be grouped by country.

When you've made your choice, you can double click, click OK, or press ENTER on the keyboard, and you will be moved to the selected purchase order.
