View Purchasing Line Attributes/Specifications

To define a line on a purchasing record further, you use the Specifications tab to view classifications and attributes associated with it.  For example, a purchasing record might involve the classification of a laptop, with attributes of memory, disk space, and speed, for which you can define values. Attributes and their values help to categorize purchase records, which make them easier to find and manage.

Attributes are only associated at the line level of a purchasing record, not at the header level. The attributes associated with a line of a purchasing record are based on the item record that the purchasing line references. If an item record has attributes associated with it in the Item Master application (and those attributes are set up in the Classifications application to be used with purchasing records), those attributes will appear on the Specifications tab of the purchasing record containing that item. For more information on attribute set-up, see the Classifications online help.

To view attributes to a purchasing record line:

  1. Display the purchasing record that you want to view attributes for.

  2. Click the Specifications tab. The attributes associated with the purchasing record appear in the Attributes table window.
    The Line field in the Attributes table window contains the purchasing line to which this attribute is associated. For example, if the Line field contains the number 2, the attribute is associated with line 2 of the purchasing record.
