Order Journal
A kind of purchase order, such as local, import or service orders. An order picks one, and the journal's default special indicator goes on every line that has none.
What it is for
It names the kinds of order so they can be told apart on lists and prints, and it can mark every line of an order with a special indicator by default. A vendor can carry an order journal of its own: purchase orders generated from a requisition with no journal take the vendor's.
