PO Batch Creation

Generating purchase orders is the final step in the requisition process. Once requisitions are approved for purchase, they are eligible for initialization to a purchase order.

The initialization process (PO Initialization) allows you to generate purchase orders based on a set of criteria (i.e. IN location, material category, job, line type, requisition ID, etc.). The system adds all eligible requisition lines meeting the specified criteria to a purchase order based on vendor and shipping address; that is, all requisition lines with the same vendor and shipping address will be added as (separate) items on the same purchase order.
