The Parts Expected Tab displays Parts with an Expected Date in either the Purchase Order General Tab or Parts Tab. (See Purchase Order Controls.)
Tracking Parts Expected can be very handy when delivery problems could influence Work Order Schedules, or else affect Stock Inventory with critical Reorder points. In addition managers may simply like to review all incoming parts, to track and follow up on outstanding Purchase Orders.
Here is a sample of the Parts Expected screen:
This screen, with multiple details, is a DataView, where you can adjust the layout, print or export the data (see DataView Menu). There may also be a header panel above for the "parent" of the details, or a DataView Footer below. Usually you can use key-matching search on fields like ID Number.
To help you manage many possible entries, this screen is already displayed using the Group-By bar, allowing you to drag column headers into the Group-By in the screen header.
Use the Horizontal Scroll Bar at the bottom of the window to see further valuable columns on the right.
