PO822 - Purchase Order Comment Load

Use this program to load purchase order comment records to the Lawson
database files. Before you can use this program you must create and load a
flat file with purchase order comments onto your system. For more information
see the Purchase Order Conversion manual.

Before updating the purchase order database files, you have the option of
running this program to report errors. In report only mode, the conversion
program performs the same edits as online maintenance programs, and lists
fatal and nonfatal errors.

In update mode, the load program

- loads records with no errors into the database with a Released status.
- does not load records with fatal errors into the database. A fatal error
prohibits the record from being added on a line.
- loads records with nonfatal errors into the database with an Unreleased
status. A nonfatal error prohibits the record from being released but does not
prohibit it from being added on a line. Use the purchase order online
maintenance programs to correct the fields in error.

The field definitions in the data file text include descriptions of the fatal
and nonfatal errors. See the data file text online or obtain a hard copy. See
the Getting Started manual for more information.
