Effects of a linked Purchase Order Line

  • If a linked sales order is open by a user, it will be view only, and the quantity cannot be changed.
  • When a purchase order is linked to a sales order, neither the purchase order nor line item can be deleted. The Quantity Ordered field cannot be changed to below the linked quantity. The links must first be broken.
  • Links cannot be created if any user has the sales order opened.
  • If a selected sales order currently has no links, and the purchase order has a different Site ID, the software will overwrite the site id on the sales order.
  • After the first link is established, only sales orders belonging to the same site as the purchase order are displayed.
