Managing the Processor Queues

Maintaining Purchase Order Processor Preferences

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to manage purchase order preferences in Concur Invoice Professional Edition

Purchase Order Processor Query Preferences Overview

With the Purchase Order Processor role, you can arrange the purchase order processor column view to include and exclude fields and arrange the sequence in the order you want.

You can access the Preferences by navigating to Home > Requests > Purchase Requests > Process Purchase Order > Preferences.

The image displays a Preferences window for purchase order settings. A left panel shows a default list selection and navigation options, with “Return to List” selected. A right panel lists column labels with checkboxes to show or hide fields such as request number, requester, vendor name, ship to, status, and dates. Save and Cancel buttons appear at the bottom.

View PO Amount That Has Been Invoiced

By adding the Total Invoiced Net Amount (In Percentage) column to the Purchase Orders page, you can view whether a PO has been fully or partially invoiced or not invoiced at all. This information is important and enables you to take necessary actions, such as closing the PO, or contact the vendor regarding the outstanding invoices.

Note

This feature is also available to the purchase requester if they have access to transmitting or editing their own POs. This setting is activated by an administrator in Invoice Settings.
The image displays an “All Orders” page under “Process Purchase Orders.” It shows a table of purchase orders with columns for order number, requestor, vendor name, ship to, status, needed by date, total, data source, and invoiced amount percentage. It includes Query, Actions, and Preferences buttons, a search box, and page navigation controls at the bottom.
