NOTE: If you have privileges to change a purchase order, you can double-click on this field to change its status from printed to un-printed and visa-versa.
TIP: Normally, when the same part is applied to consecutive line items any part extra texts (individual or standard) are suppressed so the first line only contains them. This is to reduce unnecessary duplication. However, this normal behaviour can be prevented with the user Option optPOPartTextDupl set to 1. Extra texts are then repetitively printed.

Printing Request for Quotations (RFQ)
Normally with a Purchase Order marked as a RFQ, when printed, a single document is printed. However, there is an optional document design that you can set up in the Custom Reports table of settings window which will give you multiple supplier RFQ documents.
With the multiple-supplier RFQ report design, a single RFQ is selected but multiple RFQs are printed, one for each supplier that has purchase part records for any of the part items in the created RFQ. This is useful if you want to get quotations from all suppliers of a part or group of parts. All RFQs printed will contain any non-part or outwork line items and the RFQ for the supplier you chose for the original document will contain all items regardless of whether there are purchase part records.
WARNING: The multiple supplier RFQ prints as a single document of multiple pages so it should not be used with the Email report destination as it will only be sent to the single supplier. It is designed for printing.
To set this up, go to either the System, Group or User settings, either the File — System Manager — Privileges and Settings window or the File — Preferences — User Settings window. You then add two entries in the Custom Report list, both should be given a type of RFQ. The standard single supplier design class name is rPurchRFQ and the multiple supplier design class name is rPurchRFQmulti. With these two entries made, on printing a RFQ the user will be presented with a choice of the standard or multiple-supplier document.
