Automatic creation of purchase order in D365

Hi,

I setup purchasing policies in D365 as per below screenshot.

Purchasing policies

Can somebody explain to me the documentation from Microsoft as per below:

If you select Automatically create purchase orders except under these conditions, you can add procurement categories and vendors to specify which approved purchase requisition lines are held for manual processing. This option can apply to internal catalog items, external catalog items, and non-catalog items. When you select a procurement category, any subcategories for that procurement category are also selected. Select the All option for a specific type of purchase requisition line to hold all lines of that line type for manual processing.

Is the procurement category that I entered in purchasing policies will automatically create purchase order or the procurement category that I entered is an exception meaning it will not create automatic purchase order?

I created several purchase requisition with the category that I entered in purchasing policies and created also purchase requisition that is different in the procurement category that I entered in purchasing policies but both did not create automatic purchase order.

Your replies are highly appreciated.

Thanks.

    Hi,

    The item in the policy category can not automatically create purchase order.

    Do you select an item in purchase requisition?

    Hi Mattguo,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I was able to figure out the cause of the issue.

    I selected Automatically create purchase orders except under these conditions and I also selected always allow demand consolidation.

    That settings of always allow demand consolidation is the one causing the purchase requisition not to automatically create purchase order.

    Thanks.
