In Destination Stockroom, select the stockroom to which the requested item or items should be delivered.
Select the Create PO check box for each item that needs to be purchased.
If the product is available from a single vendor, the vendor name is added to the Vendor field automatically. If the item is available from multiple vendors, a choice list appears in the Vendor field.
Select a vendor from the list.
If the selected vendor does not have the item, the Vendor Out of Stock field shows Out of Stock. This can be configured in the Out of Stock option on the Vendor Catalog Item form.
(Optional) Select the Consolidate Purchase Orders check box to combine the listed items with existing purchase orders.
When Consolidate Purchase Orders is checked, all items sourced from the same vendor on the same request are placed on the same purchase order. When a vendor is selected, the system automatically searches for purchase orders that have been created for the same request, have the same Vendor selected, and have the Requested status. If the system finds a match, all items are placed on the same purchase order and can be ordered together. If the system does not find a match, a new purchase order is created.
