Data Retention on Add

The Data Retention on Add feature allows the user to establish default field settings. These defaults are used complete the respective field during the requisition/purchase order entry process. These fields can be set to fill with the data from the last order entered or with preset default information.

NOTE: All fields for data retention are tied to the user’s security login and can therefore be set differently for each individual user.

  2. Select Data Retention on Add. The Data Retention on Add screen opens.

  3. You have two methods to set a field for retention:

If neither is selected, the corresponding fields on the order are blank.

For example, set neither the Retain nor Default Value for Vendor if the Vendor changes with each order. If you use the same Ship To for all orders, set a Default Value. If you want to have the Ship Date retained from order to order during the day, check the Retain check box next to Ship Date.

Use the Lookup buttons to search for the corresponding value you want to assign to the field.

The following fields are available for Data Retention:

  1. Click the OK button to return to the Requisition Entry or Purchase Order Entry screen. The settings are used the next time you add orders.

Encumbered Detail

The Encumbered Detail option allows you to view the history of the encumbrances on a purchase order. Information is tracked by account used on the purchase order regarding the purchase order’s total amount, the amount encumbered, the amounts liquidated and the encumbrance balance. Also displayed are the Post Date and Time, the Source of the transaction, the Transaction amount, Description, Account Number, and Invoice Number (if available).

Requisitions are not encumbered, so the encumbered detail is not available for requisitions.

Menu Path: Financial Mngmnt / PUrchasing / Purchase Orders

  1. On the Purchase Order Entry screen, click the Options (?) button.

  2. Select Encumbered Detail. The Encumbered Detail screen opens.

  3. Across the top of the screen, information about the selected purchase order displays including its description, its status and the encumbered balance.

The screen is split into two lists to allow you to view and track detailed information for different accounts within the same purchase order.

NOTE: You can move the columns as needed, however, they will return to the system defaults when you leave this screen. This works the same way as moving columns on an Excel spreadsheet.

The Accounts for this Purchase Order lists the account summary information by account number.

The Detail Encumbrance Activity lists the detail for the account highlighted in the Accounts for this Purchase Order list above.
