Prerequisites
Purchase orders with items from multiple suppliers
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Creation of a Purchase Order
When creating a PO in ProcureDesk, you can include items from different suppliers.
Step 2: Approval Process
Submit the PO for approval as you normally would.
Note: The approval process is only initiated once, regardless of the number of suppliers involved.
Step 3: Splitting of Purchase Orders
After the PO is fully approved, ProcureDesk will automatically split it into multiple sub-POs based on the number of suppliers.
Each sub-PO will correspond to a specific supplier.
FAQs and Troubleshooting
Q1: When does the PO split happen?
The PO split occurs only after the original PO is fully approved.
Q2: How are the PO numbers assigned?
The PO numbers are assigned consecutively to maintain order and ease of tracking.
Q3: Can I track the approval status of each sub-PO?
The approval is only generated once for the original PO. Once approved, the sub-POs are created without needing separate approvals.
