Dear All,

For back to back order ( Drop shipment, where the SO is linked to  a PO) that is posted.

1. What would be the better steps to handle error in PO? example when the vendor was selected wrongly?

    Good Day and Happy New Year,

    When an issue like this arises for me I teach customers to reverse the links on the PO. On the PO, I would delete the lines, then update the correct Vendor. On the Shipping Fast Tab, for the PO, update the Customer Address that the Purchase Order links too. Then add the Purchase Line, on the main Action Bar, click Actions/Functions/Drop Shipment/Get Sales Orders. This will bring in the Sales Order lines to the PO and link them.

    If the SO has the incorrect customer, you almost have to follow the same steps to de-link the PO, then correct the SO Customer. Then make sure on the Sales Lines you designated the Purchasing Code for DROP SHIP. After the update go back to the PO and update the PO with Drop Ship SO information (noted above). This issue is like starting over.

    Hope this helps and gives you some insight.

    Dear Steven ChinSky,

    Good Day and Happy New Year,

    Thank for your kind assistant.

    I tried to follow the steps below

    The Purchase Line, on the main Action Bar, click Actions/Functions/Drop Shipment/Get Sales Orders.

    As the sales orders is posted, hence i can't see the sales order being listed.

    So in this case, i would need to cancel the sales order and create a new one so that the updated PO can link to this new unposted SO?

    Hello,

    Yes, you are correct. Since the Sales Order has already been invoiced, go to the Posted Sales Invoice and click Correct/Cancel. Then you can start over again.

    Thanks,

    Steve
