To download a purchase order that has been typed through a PDE device, perform the following:   From the  ProStix Main Menu  select  'Purchasing &   Receipting'  then  'Purchase Order Processing'  then  'New Order from PDE'. The first screen is the same as the first option when you generate a new order by typing details in. For information on each of the following fields, refer to the    Raise a New Purchase Order  section. The next screen confirms that you are processing a PDE order, giving you the option to continue with the download or cancel the download by pressing <F4> (Exit). You should have the PDE device connected to the appropriate port on your PC. Once you are sure the device is connected, press any key to commence the download or transfer of information. Either type the name of the file or use <F3> (Search) to locate it. This file should be located in the directory that stores any date to be imported into ProStix. To commence the download, select <F1>. A screen shows that data is being transferred and should not be interrupted until all of the data has been downloaded. When the download is complete, ProStix informs you of the number of successful reads. While there is no indication on the PDE how many records are to be downloaded, if the number of records equals zero, the download has not been successful and should be retried. To do this, press/click <F4>. If the 'PDE Download' screen indicates that a number of records have been successfully read, press any key to copy the data into the Purchase Order files. A transaction count summary appears on the screen next. Press the <Space Bar> to continue and this exits you back to the 'Purchase Order Options' screen.
