This is where the information you enter becomes EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!  Enter the following information:

DOC ID - A0A  (A - Zero - A).

Media - Click on the drop-down menu and select "S".

Date - This will already be filled in by default.  Do not change it.

Serial - Enter 4 alpha-numeric characters.  This will be part of your Document Number, and will appear on the invoice.  To make ordering consistent, always use the letter "N" followed by 3 numeric characters, beginning with "001".  If you have more than one item to order, your sequence should be N001, N002, N003, etc.  DO NOT DUPLICATE THIS NUMBER ON THE SAME DAY.  Document Numbers are made up of your DODAAC, the Julian Date, and Serial Number.  If you order more than one item on the same Julian Date, the Document Number will be the same IF you use the same Serial Number.  You can repeat the Serial Number sequence the next day, since the Julian Date will be different.

Demand - This will default to "R", which means you will have a recurring demand for this item.  Do not change this.

SUPP Address - Enter your six digit Purchase Order Number here.

Signal - Click on the drop-down menu and select the letter "A".  THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT !  SELECTING "A" FOR THE SIGNAL CODE MAKES THE SYSTEM IGNORE THE SUPPLEMENTARY ADDRESS, WHERE YOU JUST ENTERED YOUR PURCHASE ORDER NUMBER.  IF YOU DO NOT SELECT "A" FOR THE SIGNAL CODE, YOUR ORDER WILL EITHER BE REJECTED DUE TO AN INVALID DODAAC, OR IT WILL SHIP TO THAT DODAAC IF IT IS VALID.  UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THIS STEP BE FORGOTTEN !

Fund - Enter "XP" here.  If you do not enter this code, your order will be canceled because they will not know how to obtain payment for the order.

DIST - Leave this blank.

Project - A Project Code will appear by default.  Leave this as it appears, unless you have a valid Project Code to enter.

Priority - Click on the drop-down menu and select any number between 03 and 15.  DO NOT USE 01 OR 02.  If you need your order overnight, send a fax to Sandy at XXX-XXX-XXXX and she will do what she can to assist you.

Delivery - You can enter three digits specifying the Julian Date you desire your order.  The Julian Date below is 044, therefore you could enter a date 4 days from now (048) if you are using 03 as the priority.

Advice - Leave this blank.

After you have entered all the information above, double check it to make sure it is correct.  In particular, verify that you have entered "A" for the signal code.  When you have checked your order, left click once on "Validate".  If you have entered any invalid information, you will be asked to correct it.  Otherwise, you will now be able to place your order.  You will see a final screen verifying your order.  Print this page out and attach it to your purchase order.
