Generating a PO from the Customer Order Line

Order Entry>File>Customer Orders>Purchase Order Button 

A purchase order can easily be created for a customer order line that is in a GEN PO status, and it can also be received from a bill of lading.

Highlight the line in GEN PO status.

Click the PO button.

Fill in the appropriate information as explained in field explanations article.

Generate Purchase Order ONLY
This option will create a purchase order record with a status of OPEN. The customer order line status will be ON ORDER.

Generate Purchase Order AND Receive the Goods
This option will create a purchase order record and immediately mark it as SATISFIED. The inventory record is created and the amount sold on the line will show as USED. The line status will be cut. The roll number will be the Customer Order Invoice number with a four-digit sequential suffix (0001, 0002, etc.) The inventory is received in the same manner as when receiving on a BILL of LADING. The costing routine must be performed when the supplier invoice is received.
