To open IVD, press <Alt M> ("Menu") and follow the Menu path illustrated below, then press <Enter>, or simply enter <IVD> in the "Enter Program Name" field and press <Enter>.

Delete P.O.s by Date

Allows the deletion of purchase orders that still have items on them and deletion of purchase orders that have been merged completely.  There is no effect on the inventory masterfile.  It only clears the order file.

• Enter the year and the period of months of that year you wish to delete.
• Check "Yes" or "No" to delete backorders.
• Select OK to delete.  A message, "Now deleting P.O.s and headers by date.",  will be displayed and the program exited.

This does not make changes to the inventory masterfile.  You may now need to run the "Match Masterfile with Order File" option.

Purge All Received Items

Deletes all received items off all purchase orders.  This includes all merged and canceled items.

Match Masterfile with Order File

MAKE SURE NO OTHER USERS ARE ON THE SYSTEM BEFORE RUNNING THIS OPTION.

This option is usually run after running the "Delete P.O.s by Date" option.  It changes the masterfile to reflect what is actually still on order from various vendors.  Since the entire masterfile must be rewritten, be prepared for a long routine.

Match Multivo File to Ivofile

MAKE SURE NO OTHER USERS ARE ON THE SYSTEM BEFORE RUNNING THIS OPTION.

This option matches the Multivo file to the Ivofile for multi-stores; just as the "Match Masterfile with Order File" option does for single stores.
