Purchase order
What it is
An order created for purchasing a non-stock item, or for replenishing a stock item, is called Purchase order.
A purchase order can be created as follows:
• From a purchase suggestion;
• By applying a standard purchase order;
• By creating a purchase order directly.
 | Planon administrators can add the Purchase order lines and Backorder fields to the layout of the Purchase order business object (Orders TSI). This will give an overview of these details directly on the purchase order and will save users the trouble of navigating to the Details level. |
For more information on purchase orders, see Work Orders .
Delivery address
When purchase orders are generated from a purchase suggestion, the suggested delivery address from the purchase suggestion is taken over to the purchase order. Also see Purchase suggestion.
If no delivery address is specified, it is taken over from:
1. the requisition line (if available, also see: Requisition line fields)
2. otherwise, the order (if available)
3. otherwise, the default delivery address of the property on the order
The Suggested delivery address is initially filled with the Requested delivery address, but you can edit it, if needed. When purchase orders are generated, the specified delivery address is taken over from the purchase suggestion to the purchase order.
| | A delivery address can also apply to items that are not listed in the product catalog in Planon. |
