for my various purchase requisitions it is generating various purchase orders…but i neeeed a single purchase order for a n number of purchase requisitions i.e., with a single purchase requisition id…
well, you can do that. First disable the auto creation of Purchase orders by setting “Auto create purchase order” to “No” (Under AP parameters>PR tab). Now, whenever the approver approves, a PO will not be created.
Go to Periodic>purchase requisition>release approved PRs form to create the single PO. Make sure that at the PR line level> all the lines have the same vendor selected
As you know in the general business process , Requistioner does not know who is supplier , generally this decision will taken by Purchase department. So if user does not select the vendor code then what how can a single PO will be created ?
Your question is right. the user might not now the vendor during the PR creation…but while rising the PO, the purchase deparment knows the vendor right…So during creation of PO, the purchase department can set the vendor and create the PO. It creates a single PO.
what i wanted to say is the form “AP>periodic>purchase requisition> release aproved purchaser requisition form” will have the vendor account editable. So, evethough the user not specified it…the Purchasing department can set it and rise the PO.
