View electronically and if required, keep on central paper copy. Problem eliminated with new Finance 1 version which allows printing on normal paper. Otherwise, may need to cancel original PO and generate new PO on-line. Although PO s can be prepared on-line, special requirements, eg. sales tax exemption, will require a paper copy of the PO s. The approver may also wish to approve PO s by signing the paper copy rather than approving the PO on-line.
Special printer is required to print PO s.
This discourages some DOU s from going on line. Planned implementation of the new Window-based Finance 1 next year. New version allows the PO s to be printed on plain paper. Will eliminate the need for form-feed printers. This allows staff to perform direct ordering.
