Clone Purchase Order

The clone purchase order feature allows you to create a purchase order that is similar to one created in the past. The clone feature has the following characteristics:

• It creates a new purchase order with the next available ID (Purchase Order #).

• The purchase order is created in Requested status and no approvals are processed.

• The purchase order has the same purchase order details as the original item, including vendor, shipping, and billing information. In addition, any associated records are copied into the new record.

• The purchase order has the same line items and line item quantities placed on order as the original purchase order.

• Quantities received and returned are not copied into the new record.
