Type of purchase orders entry is very similar to the entry of the sales orders. First you have to choose the document type, where the order belongs to. For this purpose one type of document is predefined.

You can also divide the purchase orders into more types of documents. This way the following can be distinguished:

• purchase orders in the country 
• purchase orders abroad
• orders for own use (basic items and similar)
• ...

As we have already mentioned with the sales orders, the bad side of this method of distinguishing is, that the type of order can not be changed quickly. When the orders of one type are ordered, the order entry form opens for the supplier.

The purchase orders can also be created from the sales orders, with the help of function for  creating the purchase orders.
