Purchase order administration

The user interface for ordering order positions is opened by clicking on the 'Administrator' button on the toolbar and selecting the 'Positions plan' option. The user interface consists of a table and a toolbar, located on the right.

The table consists of the following columns:

  • 'ID' - unique identification code of the purchase order position
  • 'Name' - the name of the purchase order position
  • 'Active' - can be selected in the drop-down menus to select the purchase order position

The toolbar consists of the following buttons 'New', 'Edit', 'Delete', 'Save' and 'Load from Repository'.

Setting a new purchase order position

Clicking on the 'New' button adds a new purchase order position within the table with the automatically generated ID and name, and indicates that it is not active (that it cannot be selected), and opens a window for editing the newly entered purchase order position.

Edit purchase order position data

Pressing the 'Edit' button, next to the previously marked purchase order position within the table, opens the 'Edit selected positions plan' window in which the data is edited.

This window consists of a data entry form that contains the following fields:

  • 'ID' - change of the unique identifier of the purchase order position
  • 'Name' - change the name of the purchase order position
  • 'Active' - a box in which a check mark is placed if we want this order item position to be displayed in the drop-down menus for selecting the purchase order position

In the lower right corner of the window there are two buttons - 'OK' and 'Cancel'. Pressing the 'OK' button saves the entered changes, while pressing the 'Cancel' closes the window without changes.

Delete purchase order position

The position of the purchase orders, once marked inside the table, can be deleted by pressing the 'Delete' button on the toolbar. Before deleting, the application will ask you to confirm whether we want to delete this order item securely. Pressing the 'Yes' button confirms the deletion, while pressing 'Cancel' closes the window without changes.

Saving and loading

All changes to purchase order positions are saved by clicking the 'Save' button on the toolbar.

By clicking on the 'Load from repository' button, the data on the order items that were last saved are loaded. Before loading, the application will ask for confirmation to discard all changes and load the last saved state. Pressing the 'Yes' button will load the last saved state, while pressing the 'Cancel' window closes and nothing changes.
