SOP to POP Linking

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Kate Greene 585

We created a Sales Order to POP link using the tool in the system. Now I have added more lines on the sales order and I want to use the tool to add those lines on the same PO. I don't think I can but I want to confirm.

I believe the only way is to add the lines to the PO and link them manually.

Any help is appreciated

    If go to the PO and highlight a line and then click on the paper clip does it show how many are already committed? The amount ordered minus the quantity committed must be more than the quantity ordered on the sale order line.

    Richard, I can't get your method to work for me.

    For a new item line on the sales order for the same item code > It presents the box but if I use the PO lookup, no POs are displayed. And if I input a valid PO number, it doesn't accept it - saying "the item on the purchase order doesn't have an available quantity to commit to the sales item".

    The same happens if I add a new item line with a different item code to the sales order - clicking the link icon does not let me select an existing PO to add this to (although the back-to-back purchase will work, but puts it onto a different PO).

    Am I missing something?

    If you highlight the line that you want added to the purchase order and then click on the Paper Clip it will then present a box where you can specify the purchase order. This purchase order must already exist and the quantity uncomitted to other sales orders.

    I can't see a way that the Sales Order lets you add to an existing PO via the back-to-back process. It just wants to create a new PO.

    Part of the complexities behind allowing that would be the issue of the status of the PO at the time - for example it could be released or received etc.

    As you say, you can add lines to the PO and then link them manually back to lines on the Sales Order.

    That's correct Kate.
