The Purchase order from Merged Outstanding Orders program generates one purchase order from merged backorders with multiple customers under one supplier. The system updates the standard cost in the warehouse file for new items without a cost but with an outstanding Purchase order quantity.
The Supplier item from the Item masterfile is used in the purchase order detail but if the Supplier item is blank on the Item masterfile, the ISBN will be used. Combined with P/O generation from B/O for drop ship the user has the option to select the drop ship warehouse or all warehouses.
