PO Ack & Reverse PO Gen (EI34)
The P/O Acknowledgements and Reverse P/O Generation (EI34) program compares the ordered quantities to the shippable quantities in PointForce Enterprise (PFE) and creates the entries in P/O Acknowledgements and Reverse P/O Entry and Edit (EI35) for a detailed PO acknowledgement.

The following list defines all of the fields on EI34:
