What can we help with?

The PO Configuration page of the Content area of the eTailPet system allows you to control how Purchase Order (PO) tables and inventory logic behave, including item scan navigation, column locking, and minimum inventory level exclusions. This article shows you how to configure the settings on this page. Streamline your Purchase Order workflow today!

Purchase Order Configuration

To get to this area, in the main system menu on the left, click on Content, then on the Content page, click on POS PO Configuration.

Here is how to work with the settings on this page:

1. Navigate to Order Quantity on Item Scan — Check this box to have the system move your cursor directly to the Order QTY field when you scan an item. This setting only applies during the PO Open status and does not apply to Quick PO.
2. Fix Product/Item Name Column — Check this box to keep the Item name column fixed in place on the left while you scroll horizontally through the Purchase Order Added Items List table so you can keep the item names in view.
   
3. Minimum Inventory Level (MIL) — Check this box to enable MIL logic, which excludes unnecessary products from your Purchase Orders. This setting is disabled by default. When you enable it, products with stock levels between the Minimum Inventory Level (MIL) and Desired Inventory Level (DIL) won't appear on your Purchase Orders unless their stock Quantity on Hand drops to or below MIL.
4. Save — Click the Save button once you have finished your changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the Navigate to Order QTY on Item Scan setting work in Quick PO?

A: No. It only applies during the PO Open status and does not apply to Quick PO.

Q: Is Minimum Inventory Level (MIL) turned on by default?

A: No. MIL is disabled by default, so you need to check the box to enable it.

Q: If I enable Minimum Inventory Level, will all low-stock products still show up on my purchase orders?

A: Not necessarily. This setting only applies to products for which you have saved a Minimum Inventory Level quantity. Products with stock between the Minimum Inventory Level (MIL) and Desired Inventory Level (DIL) won't appear on your Purchase Orders unless their stock drops to or below MIL.
