Purchase Order Entry

---

If the option to Allow link to Sales Orders is selected in Purchase Order User Preferences, when you enter a purchase order inventory line for an item that has backorders for it, the SO-PO Link form displays. You can also access this form by clicking the SO PO Link button on the Purchase Order Line Item tab.

The item details default in read-only format from the purchase order line.

Details for all sales orders that have a backorder quantity greater than zero for the item display in this table. Lines shown in red indicate that the sales order line has an effective hold status of Hold and Commit Inventory.

The Qty Ordered is the quantity of the sales order line that is on backorder. The Unallocated Quantity is the quantity that is available to link to a purchase order.

To link the order to one or more sales orders, update the Linking Qty for each order. The Linking Qty cannot be greater than the Unallocated Qty for each sales order line.

The Released Qty is read only and shows any quantity that has already been released for an existing link. This indicates that all or part of the original backorder quantity is released due to the linked purchase order having been fully or partially received.

When linking quantities have been updated, click the Save icon.

You can click the SO PO Link button from the Purchase Order Line form to change or adjust linked quantities, as long as the purchase order line remains unreceived.
