Sales Order Items on PO

When you enter an item on a Sales Order that needs to be ordered for the customer, you must create a purchase order so that you can order the item to be shipped from the vendor to your store for the customer. First thing you do is enter the item the customer wants. After entering the item, find the check box below that says PO and check that box. This will put this item on a PO # that you specify in the field next to it. You also need to enter the quantity you want to order in the Request Qty. You may choose to order more than the customer wanted in order to stock your store.
Note: The screens below have Enhanced Sales Order enabled in Company Setup | Properties | Sales Order 2.
 
The other way to accomplish this is to click on the Options 2 tab in the lower left and click on Create POs
 
Once you click on Create POs, the Select PO Creation screen will pop up. From here, you must select the item(s) from the list to be ordered and click on the Order Item box in the top left to place it on a PO. Depending on the vendors, the system will automatically create multiple POs for each vendor, while grouping items with like vendors. Once the item(s) that need ordering are checked, click Proceed. You may then choose to print or display the resulting PO(s).
 
To ensure the PO was created, you can go to the PO module and click Modify PO and find the newly made PO. Changes can then be made to the order from there.
