Overview

Use Auto Generate from Sales Orders to automatically generate purchase orders for a selected group of sales orders. You can generate purchase orders from all sales order types and statuses, procurement types, product types, and item types, and you can include the sales order header comment and/or comment lines. You can automatically summarize multiple lines with the same item into one line on the purchase order, or create a single purchase order for all drop ship items with the same vendor by sales order.

The purchase quantity can be based on the sales order quantity, the quantity on hand, or the reorder quantity. Separate purchase orders are generated for any drop-ship items contained in the selected sales order range.

If the Job Cost module is integrated with Sales Order and Purchase Order and Purchase Order Only is selected in the Post Drop Ship Costs to Job Cost field in Sales Order Options, the job number, cost code, and cost type for the generated purchase order defaults from the sales order.

If you previously made a selection, but did not complete the generation process, you can make additional selections, or you can click Clear to clear the previous selection(s) and restart the generation process.

Note The system does not check whether the Inactive Item check box in Item Maintenance is selected for items included on orders created using this task.

Note When allowed job statuses are defined in Job Status Maintenance, the system checks for allowed job statuses only when a job number is first entered in a data entry window. Changing a job status from allowed to not allowed does not affect existing records. The system will not check for allowed job statuses when selecting transactions for Auto Generate from Sales Orders.

Note Orders are generated only for those items that have a vendor specified on the sales order line, and if the sales order is not being invoiced.

Note A warning message appears if you attempt to access Auto Generate from Sales Orders while Auto Reorder Selection is in process. This prevents you from automatically issuing duplicate purchase orders for the same items.
