If you find you're ordering the same products often, for example, the same order for different Outlets, or the same order each month, you can quickly duplicate an existing Purchase Order. The new Purchase Order will be created as Incomplete, so you can edit it before placing it on order.
To duplicate a Purchase Order:
- Navigate to Inventory > PO Management > Duplicate PO
- Enter the Purchase Order ID (POID) of the original order to be copied (use the Purchase Order Manager to find the code if you're unsure)
- Enter the Number (#) of Duplicates
- Click Generate
- Select the Outlet for the order
- Click Assign
- A confirmation message will be displayed - click the PO Manager link to open the PO manager
Purchase Orders wll be created with an Incomplete status ready for editing
- Change the PO Status filter to Incomplete
- Change the Created From and Created To dates to the current date
- Update the remaining Filters if required
- Click Search
- Your new Purchase Order will be displayed in the list ready for editing
