Module Objective

The Pending Purchase Order Report module is used to generate a list of all Purchase Orders (POs) that are still in an open or "pending" status. This means the goods or services ordered in those POs have not yet been fully received from the supplier. This report is an important monitoring tool for following up on outstanding orders.

1. Report Parameters (Filter)

The main page of this module is a form containing various parameters to customize the report that will be generated.

Here is an explanation for each parameter:

• Vendor:

  • Filter the report by All vendors or a Selected vendor.

• Purchase Type:

  • Select the type of purchase you wish to display, whether Local or Import.

• Start Date / To Date:

  • Specify the creation date range of the POs to be displayed (e.g., August 1, 2025, to August 31, 2025).

• Type:

  • Select the report's level of detail: Summary or Detail.

2. Steps to Generate the Report

Step 1: Set Report Parameters

Define the Vendor scope, Purchase Type, and the date range.

Step 2: Generate the Report

After all parameters are set, click one of the two buttons in the bottom-left section of the page:
