Multiple purchase orders from single special order/sales order

Posted on by 135

Hi, 

Is there a way to take a single sales order with special order items and create multiple purchase orders,

whether for a single or multiple vendors? Client wants this functionality b/c each special order item can have different estimated arrival dates and most clients prefere partial delivery as items arrive.

Thanks.

    Thanks Josh - Had Saturday and Sunday outside work (nice weather).

    To create a single PO for each Requisition Line, this will require a code change as Josh noted. I would work with your Partner and Developer.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    I expect this will require a modification. I had a similar requirement for an apparel wholesaler. They are using an older version so your modification options are probably more elegant. Mine involved altering the codeunit that manages the carry out action msg process to consider data only by line and not in a group

    It’s worth considering the “Carry out action msg.” feature only works on lines in the current page filter. So a workaround could be setting a filter which splits the req. lines up as you need them to be generated

    Thanks for your response, Steve. It worked fine for SOs with different vendors, producing the linked PO. However, if there was a sales order with 2 or more items from the same vendor, I got one purchase order with multiple lines for the vendor.  I actually want to have a Sales Order with multiple items from the same vendor BUT generate a separate PO

    for each item b/c of variances in lead time, discounts, etc.

    Hello,

    After creating the Sales Order Lines and flagging the Purchasing Code = Special Order, in the Requisition Worksheet, click Special Orders/Get Sales Orders. This will bring in ALL Sales Order Lines that are set to Special Order. Now you can define the Vendor No. for each Item and create 1 or more PO's.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve
