Purchase Order Document for New Company

Report

Posted on by PaulaP

We are currently using a purchase order modified report for one of our companies (Tools > Customize > Report Writer > POP Purchase Order Blank Document) . We have now added a second company to GP. However, we want to use the modified report from the original company and modify its logo to be used with the new company when printing purchase orders, all other data on the form will remain the same. Is it possible to open the current PO in modified reports, save it as something else, then modify the logo as needed? I'm not seeing an option to do that. Or, must this report be copied from the back end and opened for modification? Thank you!

I'm a bit confused by the Source and Target reference. My "POP Purchase Order Blank Document" that is currently used in my original company sits in the modified report window already, and I cannot bring over another instance of the report from the original reports window side. Is this saying that we should choose a different report (like one we will never use) and move that over as the target and perform the rest of the steps to duplciate it?

There are several options for report formats, usually Blank, Long, Short, etc. Dave is referring to using one of these formats as the Target. Your source would be Blank.

Hi Paula,

Just to add valuable suggestion given by Harry. The modified report is shared across all companies so you cant have 2 different logo in same modified report. So you are right you cannot bring another instance of the report from the original report, instead you can you any other Long or Short and modify the same. The other option will be use word template where you can add different template for each company with its own logo.
