How to Batch Create PO's Using the Sales Order PO Screen

You can use the Sales Order PO's screen to select items and Vendors then batch create PO's that will be linked to the individual Sales Order line items. When making the PO's the user can select the option to create a NEW PO or add the items to an existing PO. This allows a company to have several items on 1 PO rather than multiple PO's.

  • On the Sales Order PO's screen:
    • Select the items.
    • Select the Vendors.
    • Input Vendor Costs.
    • Click on the Proceed (Show Prebuild Summary) button. A Sales Order PO's - Prebuild Summary popup will appear which displays the following columns:
      • Vendor: Shows you which Vendors are related to the selected items on the Sales Order PO's screen.
      • Existing PO: You can select an 'Existing PO' (which will cause the selected items for that Vendor to be 'added' to that existing PO).
        • To do this, you need to uncheck first the Create PO checkbox. Then click the Existing PO drop down button and select an existing PO.
      • PO Total: Shows you a TOTAL amount of each PO's and all PO's that will be made.
      • Create PO checkbox: Leave this checked if you want to create a new PO for the items related to a Vendor.
      • Group: The Sales Order Line Item group field.
    • Click on Create/Add to PO's button.
