Creating purchase orders

You can create purchase orders and reuse the data and vendor information while you apply consistent terms and contracts. You can combine multiple purchase requisitions for the same vendor on a single purchase order.

1. In the Purchase Orders application, click New Purchase Order.
2. Specify a description of your purchase order and fill the required fields.
3. On the PO Lines tab, click New Row to add line items to the purchase order.
4. In the Delivery Details section, specify the shipping information:
   1. In the outbound shipment fields, specify the values that are used to manage the shipment of the part to the vendor.
   2. In the inbound shipment fields, specify the values that are used to manage the shipment of the part that is sent from the vendor.
   If the shipment options for your organization do not specify that shipment records for this type of purchase order are automatically created, you can create a shipment record from the purchase order. Specify a value in one of the shipment method fields, and a shipment request record or shipment record is created. For example, if you specify REQUEST in the Inbound Shipment Method field, an inbound shipment request record is automatically created. When the purchase order is approved, shipping locations and vendor dates from the purchase order lines are copied to the shipment request record or the shipment record.
5. In the Bill To field, specify a value, and provide the billing information.
6. Click Save Purchase Order.
