field <LS>Purchase order</> and press F4. A window will appear in which
you now enter the supplier shown in the invoice. You can then display
all purchase orders for this supplier for the materials listed in the
invoice. By referring to other information contained in the invoice
(such as quantity and price), you can find the correct purchase order
and then select it.
