Product: Sage 300


A O/E (Order Entry) Order Entry represents an inbound Purchase Order (850) sent from your Trading Partner. You can create one by exporting out the received Order from your Inbox within Transaction Manager.


Exporting a Purchase Order


Whenever you receive a Purchase Order (850) from your Trading Partner it will show up within your Inbox inside of the Transactions section within Transaction Manager.

You can select documents within the Inbox and use the Export button to initiate the exporting of the selected transactions to Sage 100 to attempt to create Sales Entries from.

Navigate: Transactions β†’ Inbox

Select: Transactions to Export

Select: Export

Successful Orders


Any successfully exported transaction will generate an O/E Order Entry within Sage 300 and automatically have the Purchase Order move from the inbox into the Received folder within Transaction Manager.

Integration Activity

Within Transaction Manager's Integration Activity you will find a report transactions Imported or Exported within Transaction Manager - if the document was successful the Document # will report the Document No. that was created within Sage 300 for your O/E Order.

Navigate: System Activity β†’ Integration Activity

Sage Order Entry

Once the Purchase Order has been successfully exported out - you will be able to find it within Sage 300 under the Order Entry screen under the O/E Transactions module.

The Document # reported within the Integration Activity screen will be your Order No. within your Sage 300 Order Entry screen - you can enter it in or use the magnifying glass to search for it.
