Following PO Generation by Sales Order

masionas
Hi Guys,

When I create a Sales Order via order entry in admin, is there a way to have following Purchase Orders to be generated to respective vendors and filled with all the data so I would just need to review them, edit if needed and approve?

Thanks for any tips.

I do this using the Requirements subsystem. You need to decide whether
requirements should be generated based on QoH, ATP, etc. You should
select the default reqs in the product store setting, but you can
override this at the product level if you want/need to.

Once you raise a SO, the system will determine whether you have
sufficient stock on hand to satisfy the order and whether requirements
should be generated for the stock. Assuming this is the case, you go
into the Requirements screens and Approve the requirements, and then
jump to the Approved Requirement screen, select the relevant suppliers,
and click on the "Create Purchase Order" link at the bottom.

I'm sure others will recommend using the MRP subsystem, but I'm running
a 12/06 version of OFBiz and the MRP stuff doesn't work too well in this
old version - migration to the latest and greatest is WIP :-)

Iain,

Thank you for the help. I followed your algorithm and was able to get to the "create quick PO link".
