Converting Purchase Orders to Bids

Convert purchase orders to bids to send the COGS data to your vendor without actually purchasing the items and sending them to your inventory. This process eliminates the possibility of creating a sales order against inventory that you may not have coming in. By keeping the purchase order as a bid, you can get the cost to you without committing the products to your future ledger or inventory supply.

To convert a purchase order to a bid:

1. Display the purchase order that you want to copy.

2. From the Edit Order > Change OrderMode menu, select Bid.

The system converts the purchase order and the generation extension changes to -Bid.

Note: The system prompts you to select a vendor. You can use the vendor on the original purchase order, or enter a new vendor to fulfill the order.

3. Save your changes and exit the window.
