If you raise multiple purchase orders to the same supplier for the same items ie a monthly/quarterly service order, you can save time by duplicating/copying one of the orders that you have previously added.
Find the purchase order that you would like to duplicate then click the Duplicate button on the purchase order header grid.
An identical order will be created with a header and line(s) status of Entered. You can then Edit the header and/or line(s) and update any fields if required.
The order that you are duplicating can be for stock or text items and the current status of the header and line(s) can be any status ie Entered, Issued, Receipted, Invoiced, Cancelled, Returned etc. The duplication process will create the same lines and header details that were on the original purchase order when it was first created.
All of the fields on the header and line(s) will be duplicated, apart from the Required By Date, so the quantities, unit prices, budget codes, delivery codes, references etc will be indentical on the new order.
Please note that if the unit price of a stock item has changed since the date of the order you have used to duplicate, the new unit price will not be reflected on the purchase order as the process will only copy the price from the original purchase order. Remember you can always Edit the new purchase order and update any fields.
