The setup a custom P.O. for this order you can by clicking on the Custom P.O.’s in the Additional Order Options area of the Maintain order screen

The purpose for creating a custom P.O. that is specific to an order can have various reasons, usually it is for creating a P.O. specific to this order only for things like custom medals, or cast plaques or pens etc. Oftentimes if you are selling Promotional Products and you need to create a Purchase Order to your suppliers for products you are selling to your customer and you want that purchase order tied to the customers order, then you will create a custom P.O.. When you duplicate an order that has a custom P.O. on it, the custom P.O. to the supplier will also be duplicated saving data entry time upon reorders.

When you click on the Custom P.O.’s a screen will pop up allowing you to select the vendor  that the P.O. will be sent to and then click on Add New Purchase order for vendor, then all the associated line items will be populated into the P.O. for this vendor.

You can then edit the P.O. as required and submit the P.O. to your supplier via e-mail, or print and fax it to your suppliers

You will notice at the top of this P.O. there is a yellow box showing the P.O. is tied to a specific order. You can double click on the yellow box to open up the associated order if needed.
