Purchase Orders > Creating Purchase Orders from Sales

From a Single Sale

To create purchase orders directly from a single sale:

1.	Press the Sales MGR button on the Toolbar.

2.	Find the sale you want to create a purchase order for.

3.	Highlight the sale and press the Items tab below.

4.	Press the Copy to PO button.

5.	Enter the PO Number, Vendor, Location, and Order Date information.

6.	Press the OK button.

7.	When the Edit Purchase Order screen is displayed make any necessary changes to the PO and Items.

From a Sales Date Range

To create purchase orders directly from a sales date range:

1.	Choose Auto Generate PO\|Based on Sales from the Inventory\|Purchase Orders menu item.

2.	Select Date Range from the Available Filters list.

3.	Add the sales date range to the Current Filter list.

4.	Select any other available filter criteria you want.

5.	Press the Ok button.

The quantity of each item placed on the purchase order will be the number of items sold for the specified date range.

The purchase orders will be created with the PO number PO_DATE_X, where DATE is the current data and X is the number that is assigned based on the last AUTO PO in the purchase order list. You should always check purchase orders after you autogenerate. You should edit the purchase order name, orderer and check to ensure that the ordered quantities are correct (to account for season etc.).
