The Vendor Order (VO) screen includes four tools — Print, Email, Export, and Import — that let you share, download, or populate a VO with parts data. Regardless of which tool you use, you must still click Submit Order to finalize the VO.
Tools Overview
The print, email, export, and import icons appear as a row of four icons on the Vendor Order screen. Each opens its own dialog window.
Click the Print icon to open the Print window. From there you can review the Vendor Order and send it to your printer.
Click the Email icon to open the Email Order to window. You can send the Vendor Order to the email address already on the Vendor Record, or type in a different email address.
Export
Click the Export icon to open the Export Order window. Use the format dropdown to select the file format you need, then export the file.
Once the file has been exported from Blackpurl, you can use it however your workflow requires.
Import
Click the Import icon to open the Import Order window, where you can select the file format of the parts listing you want to import. For step-by-step guidance, see Import a Picklist into Blackpurl and follow Option 1 — Directly into a Vendor Order.
If the file contains a large number of parts listings, the import may take a moment to complete.
Once the import is finished, review the parts listing and quantities carefully before submitting the VO.
Submitting the Vendor Order
Printing, emailing, exporting, or importing data does not finalize the Vendor Order. After completing any of these actions, click Submit Order to complete the VO process.
