To raise purchase orders for Timber Tally products, perform the following: 1. From the  ProStix Main Menu  select  'Purchasing & Receipting'  then  'Purchase Order Processing'  then  'New Order' . 2. Type the supplier number and branch number, or search via <F3> if required.  Complete the next fields according to the  Purchasing - Standard Products   process.   3. Type in or use <F3> to search for the  products  to be ordered along with the  quantities  required.  When Timber Tally products (that have the tally flag set to  'Yes'  on the Product Master File) are selected, and the quantity is 1, a  'Piece Tally Entry'  screen is displayed.  An error message "Supplier xxx is not the Allocated Supplier for product xxx" appears if a product is added to a Purchase Order and the product has a restricted Allocated Supplier ("Allocated Supp Only" field = yes).  4. Type in the quantities and the lengths. For example, 10 at 1.2, 20 at 2.4.  The system totals these tallies when you select <F1>, and then you are returned to the product entry screen. Note : If the product has the length validation flag set to  'Yes'  then you are only warned if you type an invalid length into the piece tally entry screen. 5. Complete the rest of the purchase order  according to the  Purchasing - Standard Products   process.
