Creating Purchase Orders from Requisitions

You can create purchase orders from requisitions as follows:

• Using the Purchase Order Entry form, you can:

• Specify a requisition number on a purchase order. The program then displays the information entered for the requisition, including detail lines that specify the vendor number and, optionally, detail lines that have no vendor number.

• Select more than one requisition number for a single purchase order, to add details from different requisitions posted for the vendor (and for blank vendors, if desired) to a single purchase order.

• Select item details with no vendor number when the purchase order vendor is specified as the vendor type in the item records.

• Consolidate like detail lines into single lines.

For information about the Purchase Order Entry form, see Processing purchase orders.

• Using the Create POs From Requisitions form, you can create purchase orders automatically from requisitions, specifying a range of requisitions, requisition dates, and vendors from which to create purchase orders and, optionally, consolidating item details from more than one requisition into single details on purchase orders.

You can also create purchase orders from requisitions that contain detail lines without vendor numbers and you can specify entries for any optional fields you use.
