This is a cool tip which could be handy if one wants to regenerate a record at later point of time after it’s deletion.
Step1 – Say, I want to delete a record from VendTable and later at some point of time I want to recreate it back. Right-Click the record and press Record info from the Context menu

Step 2 – Click on Script button. This will generate an insert script of the record which you can use it for re-inserting the record back via say a job.

Step 3 – This is how the job looks like , I copied the script from clipboard in Step 2 and pasted it in my job editor

Types of Purchase Order -

There are 6 Purchase order types:
Journal
Quotation
Subscription
Purchase Order
Returned Item
Blanket Order

Journal
The first Purchase order type is the journal. This type is used as a draft. It does not affect stock quantities and does not generate any item transactions and the quantity on the order line will not be considered in the Master scheduler. It can’t be posted
EXAMPLE: A purchase order of the type Journal can be used when importing data by batch; in this manner, the purchase order can be reviewed and evaluated without affecting inventory, on-order, or other numbers.

Quotation
This kind of purchase order is used if the vendor has not yet committed to fulfilling the order if the company has not confirmed the purchase order. Quotation type generates an issue lot with the type Quotation in the inventory and optionally in the Master scheduler.
Unlike the Journal type, the Quotation makes an entry in the inventory transaction table. Making this transaction is what enables Microsoft Dynamics AX 4.0 to use this information for Master scheduling purposes.

Subscription
This kind of purchase order is used for repeated purchases of the same goods or services. When a packing slip is updated, Microsoft Dynamics AX 4.0 generates a receipt. When the invoice is updated for the receipt, a new packing slip or invoice entry can be updated for the same purchase line immediately or at some future date. The order will never be at an Invoiced status only Open or Received.

Returned Item
This type is used when you return goods to the vendor. A Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number supplied by the vendor is required when entering this kind of order

Blanket Order
This kind of purchase order is used if there is a contract with the vendor and you want to order from the contract. Typically, a company uses blanket orders to receive better pricing conditions as the blanket order quantity is bigger than on single purchase orders. You can create a Release order to release, order, and invoice items until the contract is fulfilled. Blanket orders do not affect stock quantities, do not generate item transactions, and are not included in Master scheduling. Release orders, issued from Blanket orders, do affect all the above.

Some T & L notes :

• The Purchase order form opens, by default in the Simple view and shows the last purchase order created.
• Unit – The purchase unit is the unit of measure that the item is purchased. There is a close relationship between the purchase unit and the inventory unit. For example, the item may be purchased in kilos and stocked in grams.
• One-time supplier – For use of a supplier that is not already in the Vendors form.
• Invoice account – Invoice account is used if the account number of the vendor you send the invoice to and pay differs from the vendor with whom you place the purchase order.
• RMA number – The dialog box displays the Return Merchandise Authorization number (RMA number) when Return Item is selected in the Purchase type field. This number is provided by your supplier and is used for tracking a return item. The field is mandatory when the purchase type is Returned item.
• In this field group, specify the language setting for the purchase order. This affects the language that is used for item names and for printing external purchase order documents.

• EXAMPLE: Select an item and click Setup – Language – Item
  description. Select a language and enter the translation text. Create a new
  purchase order and in the Language field group select the language for which
  you created a translated text. Print, for example, a receipts list and the
  item’s name is printed out using the foreign language text.
