  • 1.  Auto PO Creation from a Sales Order

    Posted 10-14-2021 14:57
    What's the purpose of having more than one vendor associated with an inventory item?  If a primary vendor is designated then a PO can be automatically created if the item is on a sales order and the primary vendor will be used on the PO. 

    Is it possible to change the vendor to one of the other item code associated vendors before auto-creating the PO?  Sometimes the end user buys from a couple of different vendors depending on shipping speed (lead time) or other factors.

    I believe you can change the vendor for the item in the lower grid of the Sales Order prior to generating.

    When you are entering the sales order, there is a Vendor No field on the lines (lower grid by default) and it populates with the primary vendor but you can change it prior to auto creating the PO.  Unless maybe there is a role setting somewhere prohibiting that.

    What's interesting is that you can choose ANY vendor in sales order to create the PO for.  You are not just limited to those vendors associated with the inventory item.  I'm still wondering what's the purpose of having more than one vendor associated with an inventory item.

    I believe that it lets you pick any vendor since it would be possible to create a PO for a vendor even if this is the first time you purchased from that vendor.

     

    The purpose behind tracking multiple vendors is helpful to purchasing department. Notice the item/vendor screen (and table) tracks the last price for each item/vendor; that is helpful for purchasing to see what they paid for items from multiple vendors. It also can be pulled into the PO as the default price next time you create a PO for that item/vendor.
