Model Documents

Use the Models command on the Action menu on the Documents form to create model uncommitted purchase order documents that you can use to generate future documents.

The numbering automatically assigned to models is based on what is specified in the Next Model Number box in the Set Options command on the Utilities menu.

Provided that a model already exists for the current supplier, a browse screen shows the current models. The following information is displayed:

Box	Description
Reference	The model document number.
Date	The date on which the model document was created.
Memo	Indicates whether a memo has been created.
Total Value	The total model document value.
Cur.	The currency code associated with the model document.
Alt. Reference	The alternative reference assigned to the model document.

Actions

The following commands are available from the Action menu when the Model window is displayed:

Use this command	To
Find Document	Find a document for any supplier record. You can enter a range of document numbers in the Range From and Range To boxes. When you click Display, the List tab displays the documents found. Select the one you want to process from the list and click OK.
View Header	Display the header details of the currently selected model document.
View Lines	Display the line details of the currently selected model document.
History	Display the creation and revision history details of the currently selected model document. This includes the date and time the document was created and last changed and the user name in each case.
Edit	Edit the content of the currently selected document.
Commit	Convert the currently selected model document to a uncommitted purchase order document record.

If no model currently exists for the supplier, the browse screen is empty. On completion, you must confirm you want to post the model document record. When a model exists for a supplier, the application gives you the opportunity to create the document from an existing model if you want to.
