Steps to Create Purchase Orders from Sales Orders

By looking up each of your product’s assigned supplier, this feature enables you to automatically group the items you need to obtain into distinct purchase orders so that you can complete your sales orders.

Products where no supplier has been assigned will all be included in one purchase order.

To create a Purchase Order from a single Sales Order:

1. Go to your Sales module.
2. Pick an order that you want to make a purchase order from.
3. At the top-right corner of the page, click the arrow-down button beside Save.
4. Click Create Purchase Order.
5. A dialog box will appear that contains the line items in your order.
6. Click Create (1) purchase orders.

To create multiple Purchase Orders from multiple Sales Orders:

1. Go to your Sales module.
2. Select the orders for which you want to make purchase orders.
3. At the top-right corner, click Bulk Actions.
4. Click Create Purchase Order.
5. A dialog box will appear containing all the line items in your order.
6. Click Create (1) purchase orders.

The quantity of the line items in the Generate Purchase Order window corresponds to the number of line items there are in your selected Sales Orders.

The system automatically creates links between the sales orders and the automatically created purchase orders. This will make it easier for you to navigate between your sale and purchase orders that are related with each other.

When you receive your purchase orders, you’ll be able to quickly choose which sales orders to fulfill. The Related Orders section of the Order details page is where you can see the order connections:
