Creating a Purchase Order via Auto Multi WO

Auto Multi WO is an action in Purchase Orders that bundles items from multiple Work Orders into a single purchase order. It identifies items—in all Open to Buy and Issued work orders—from the same preferred supplier and puts them into the same Purchase Order Line Items (POLI). The “Purchasing” team uses this action to:

• Decrease the number of purchase orders and shipments, which helps with cost control.

• Check other Work Order Line Items for items that need to be purchased.

To use Auto Multi WO::

1. Open the Purchase Orders table in the Bonded Zone application.

2. Create a PO with status of Multi or edit an existing one. Read more about different statuses in PO.

3. Check that the Supplier ID, Company, and Currency fields are complete, with all necessary and correct information. These will get used later as the criteria to search for outstanding work orders.

4. Select Auto Multi WO in the Status field.
