Copying Purchase Order Data to Other Order Types

You can copy purchase order data to other orders. This process lets you keep the order as is, but copy the information to a new type of order and not have to re-enter all the data again.

To copy purchase order data to another order:

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

2. From the Edit Order > Copy order to menu, select one of the following:

• Copy to Sales Order Bid - Copies all data to a sales order bid.

• Copy to Purchase Order Bid - Copies all data to a purchase order bid.  The information from the purchase order is generated to a new order. The order extension is now -Bid.

Note: All non-overridden prices to be recalculated during the copy process while maintaining manually overridden amounts.                  

• Copy to Transfer -Copies all data to a transfer.

3. The system populates the following fields. Update these fields as needed:
