Generate PO from Sales Order is an iDempiere process window that automatically creates Purchase Orders from confirmed Sales Order lines, using each product’s active current vendor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It shortens replenishment cycles, keeps sales and purchase documents linked for traceability, and reduces duplicate ordering across busy retail sales desks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Business Rules<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- Only Sales Orders with IsSOTrx = Y are eligible for PO generation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Sales Order lines already linked to a Purchase Order line are excluded automatically.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- One Purchase Order is created per vendor per Sales Order.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Only products with an active Current Vendor in Product Purchasing are processed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If a Vendor parameter is entered, only that vendor’s products are processed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Header-level SO-to-PO link is set only when exactly one PO is created.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Line-level links between SO and PO lines are always created for traceability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Drop Shipment copies Delivery Via Rule and Shipper from the Sales Order.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- At least one selection filter must be entered before running the process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
