Enter a Back-to-Back (BtB) sales order where you manually create the purchase order

You start the creation process manually after you create the sales order.

Do as follows:

Repeat the instructions in Enter a Back-to-Back (BtB) sales order with an automatic creation of the purchase order, but use a sales order type that has a connecting purchase order type with a batch printout of the first document to be printed.

To manually create the purchase order do as follows:

Select the Create BtB purchase order menu item.
On the BtB purchase order creation panel you select the purchase order(s) you want to create from the connecting sales order(s). You have several options from which to choose. You can enter an individual selection or a range of the following:

Handler
Customer number
Supplier number
Sales order numbers
Sales order types

Enter the printing parameters and click OK or F2 if your user profile is authorised to run programs interactively.

The system creates the purchase order(s) for the selections made and also prints a list displaying the purchase orders that were created. On the printout you will find the purchase order numbers.

Number of purchase orders created
When the purchase order is created in batch, as in this example, one purchase order can be created for several sales orders if:

a purchase order with the same order type and same supplier exists
the status of the existing purchase order is 10
the order date of the existing purchase order is the same as current date

Otherwise several purchase orders will be created.

You can now maintain the purchase order, if you wish, or continue with the work order flow for Back-to-Back orders (see Maintain the Back-to-Back (BtB) purchase order or Work flow for Back-to-Back (BtB) orders with direct delivery for instructions).
