PurchaseOrderID - identify Purchase Order transactions
AdaptAccounts applications involve processing and summarizing transactions. One of the first requirements in such a system is the need to uniquely identify transactions. Although many transactions may have some external information that can identify them, for reliability it's necessary to have the system ensure that these transactions are identified uniquely. In practice this means transactions must be serialized by the system.
Each Purchase Order transaction is uniquely identified by a system generated number called its PurchaseOrderID.
For example, assume you have a Purchase Order transaction whose PurchaseOrderID is 27093. It will be the only Purchase Order transaction whose PurchaseOrderID is 27093. No other Purchase Order transaction will have that same PurchaseOrderID.
PurchaseOrderType - transaction type
There are two different types of transactions in Purchasing. The type is specified in the PurchaseOrderTypeID field. A Quote may subsequently be changed to an Order.
1 Order Purchase Order
2 Quote Request for Quotation or Requisition
