Hi Tim,
If a Po is created and multiple sales orders are created after the PO is there anyway to still link the new SO's to the purchase order?
Thanks,
Sam
Yes, but it's clunky.
First, it's good to be aware that the Purchase Order Line link is actually stored on the Sales Order Line. Specifically, it's stored in the SOLineSplit table. So, technically, you can link one Sales Order Line to multiple Purchase Order Lines or one Purchase Order Line to multiple Sales Order Lines.
To your question though. Let's say you have a Purchase Order that needs a quantity of 2.
Then later two Sales Orders some allow each demanding 1.
Make sure the Inventory ID and Warehouse match on the lines. Then check the Mark for PO box on the Sales Orders (SO301000) screen and click the PO LINK button.
I think it puts in the default Vendor for the Item so clear that out to ensure that you see all Purchase Order Lines. Then select the line and click the SAVE button to form the link.
One thing to be aware of. It's been a while since I tested this. But I think that once the Purchase Order is received, the Inventory ID will get hard allocated to the Sales Order line which may or may not be what you want.
