To create an order you can copy an existing order (does not copy order number or dates) and then amend the information to suit. Once you save the order the order number is applied, this is done automatically or manually depending on your system settings.
You can copy an order and apply a different supplier to the copied order. Where the order currency and currency used by the supplier do not match, a price warning is displayed. You can choose to copy the prices or create the order with blank prices.
If you choose a different supplier account to the original order, any analysis codes on the order that were set to default to the supplier account, will change to the default analysis code for the new supplier.
Open: Purchase Order Processing > Purchase Orders > Enter New Order.
To apply a different supplier to the copied order, use the lists to select the required supplier.
Note: If you select a supplier that is on hold, a warning is displayed and you must select another supplier for the order. If you have exceeded your credit limit with that supplier, a warning is displayed but you can continue.
Select Copy order line price and discounts to copy the prices and line discounts as well as the order line items and quantities.
Click OK.
The order details are displayed.
