Power automate to copy lines from Sales order to Purchase order?

Hello, I want to have a button to copy lines from a sales order to a pruchase order - items and qty.

I'm a complete noob on power automate, and tried this:

I think this is the wrong way, as here I'm trying to create a new PO based on the order - and it goes bad because there's nowhere to get the vendor ID from.

Does anyone have any tips on how to do this? I'm OK with creating the PO on the vendor first, and then populating lines from a sales order, as long as I can pick it?

I think this may require a custom API if the vendor is not fixed each time, since as you mentioned, there is no Vendor ID in the standard SalesOrder API.

PS: Can we extend standard APIs?: https://yzhums.com/20960/

In addition, since the Sales Order Line may be more than one line, you need to add an Apply to each step.

This is an interesting topic, I will test it in detail when I have time.

Hope this can give you some hints.

Thanks

hi.

I am curious as to why you want to do this via Power Automate when there is built in functionality within Business Central on the sales order page?
