Run Suggested Purchases For Vendor

Follow these steps in Enterprise to run suggested purchases to generate purchase orders. You must have an appropriate role to use this functionality.

1. Navigate to Warehouse Management | Purchasing | Suggested Purchases
   • Documentation for use can be found here.
2. Click on the Vendor link for the item you want to generate a purchase order for.
3. You will be taken to the Create Purchase Order page. This is effectively the Suggested Purchases for Vendors page.
   
   
   • NOTE: All items assigned to this vendor with low quantities on warehouse locations will return on the page, though as above, "Short" items are at the top of the list.
   • The only thing required to be adjusted on a line for a purchase order to be generated is the Quantity you are ordering. Since all of the appropriate items linked to a specific vendor will appear here, if you update the quantity for multiple items, those line items will all be on the purchase order you are generating.
   • Once you have adjusted the quantity, click the Create Purchase Order button.
   • A Create Purchase Order popup will appear. This is basically an overview, with a Request Date, the Buyer, the Number of Line Items on this PO, the Total Weight (presuming your items have a weight set on them), and the Total Cost. The purchase order is not officially generated until you click the green check mark to do so.
4. Upon clicking on the green check mark, you are taken to your newly created purchase order.
