Inquiries

Retail and Costs are also displayed on the first 2 (receipts and purchase orders). A grid is used to list recent activity for the selected inquiry.
Receipts
This tab lists the most recent receipts for the current or selected item. Up to 8 receipts are listed. To view more receipt history, use the Documents library to view "PO Inventory Receipt" documents and specify the item or use the Item Receipts inquiry located under the Purchasing area.

For additional information regarding purchase orders, use the Documents form, choose PO Purchase Order documents, and search by item or use the Item Status inquiry (which lists Purchase Orders associated with an item).
The "Update On" dates refer to the last time the cost or price was updated.
Customer Orders
The Customer Orders tab lists the most recent orders for the selected item. Up to eight (8) orders are listed. For additional information regarding customer orders, use the Documents form, choose PS Customer Orders, and search by item or use the Customer Order Summary inquiry and select by item. Quantity information and vendor-item multiples regarding the item are repeated on this tab for reference.
Transfers
The Transfers tab lists recent branch transfers for the selected item. This is done using the Transfers transaction located under the Inventory application area. If an item has been transferred, this tab will list the most recent transfers as well as the branches involved, dates, quantities, and status of the transfer. Status will display either "sent" or "pending." Pending means a request for a transfer has been made but has not yet been accepted.
