If your business uses the same information repeatedly for general purchase orders, you can enter information into a GPO template item. This will allow you to choose that item in a GPO and quickly fill in the information. GPO items do not impact your business inventory.
Add a GPO Template Item

- Select the Edit menu from the upper left of the screen.
- Hover over Modify to expand the submenu.
- Choose the Add / Modify GPO Invoice Templates option. This will open the GPO invoice templates window.
- Click in the starred gray row to begin entering a new template.

You can check the taxable box to denote that taxes will apply to this item.
