  been added to the Payment Option ID field in the Build Payment Batch window.

  access to dimensions and copy the user access settings from one user and apply
  them another one.

  methods.

  order transactions list. When you use the Generate button, the PO Navigation List
  will automatically open with the newly generated purchase orders displayed.
- PO information displayed for requisition originator
  When a purchase order is created from a requisition, the PO information is
  displayed on the requisition list so that the requisition originator can be aware that

  Now you can print a purchase requisition report from the Requisition Entry and
  from the Requisition List windows.

  Now you can allow users to modify an existing department code and the changes
  will automatically update all the tables that contain that department code,
  including History tables.
