The merge PO functionality combines the lines from 2 or more separate Purchase Orders. This is done to match an upcoming invoice with an order that might have been made in multiple parts.
The Merge PO functionality must be turned on for your organisation. And it can only be done by the user who can close the PO.
Only Purchase Orders with the conditions below can be merged:
- Are issued to the same supplier
- Are raised by the same user
- Have not been received yet
- PO does not have partial GRN or ongoing GR
The option to Merge Purchase Orders on the PO page can be found in the Actions menu
The new merged PO will contain the individual lines from the original Purchase Orders. The old constituent Purchase Orders will be automatically closed.
