Now that I've (finally!) managed to track down the problem, I can ask
what to do about it!
BACKGROUND:
This problem occurs with revision 678902. I haven't checked more
recent versions because I'm trying to get us up and running before
changing anything else. If this has been fixed or changed, I
apologize in advance for any inconvenience.
Every time I try to create a purchase order, I get the following:

After tracing the execution through the source files, I managed to
determine that when initorderentry doesn't find a ProductStore in the
request, it looks for one in the WebSite, and since I don't have a
WebSite with the ID "OrderEntry", it can't find one.
QUESTIONS:
1) What is the significance of the WebSite-ProductStore association?
2) What should I consider when deciding which of my five ProductStores
to associate with the WebSite "OrderEntry"?
3) I understand the need for a ProductStore when creating a Sales
Order, but why do I need one when creating a Purchase Order? If it's
just to set a default Currency UOM, isn't there -- or shouldn't we
find -- a better way to do this? Alternately, why can't we just skip
the default and set the Currency UOM on the next screen, where we
already have a way to change it?
Thanks for the help!
