Creation of Orders from Existing Detail Lines

You can avoid manually entering purchase orders by having the system create new purchase orders based on existing detail line information. If the detail lines you are working with are applicable to several different suppliers, the system creates a separate purchase order for each supplier.

If there are multiple detail lines for a supplier, it is because each line pertains to a different branch/plant. The system uses the Next Numbers program to assign a single purchase order number to each supplier. You can also assign the order numbers manually.

You can use processing options to specify default values for the orders that the system creates. These values include the order type and the beginning status code. You can also indicate special processing for the new orders, such as approval routes and budget checking.

Creating purchase orders from existing detail lines is the final procedure for several different JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement system programs, including:

• Purchase Order Workbench.

• Generate Purchase Orders from Requisitions.

• Generate Purchase Orders from Blanket Orders.

• Generate Quotes from Requisitions.

• Purchase Order Generator.
