How to tie a sales order to a PO that has already been created?

[Former Member]

Hello All,

We created a Purchase Order prior to getting a customer PO. We just got the PO from the customer today and entered a drop ship Order Confirmation. Is there any way to tie this PO to this drop ship sales order or do we need to cancel the PO and create a new one? Problem is this is shipping Friday from the vendor and we already received the product to the PO.

Normally we have some time to cancel the PO and enter a new one. Plus this has already been received. Please let me know if this can be done.

Thanks

Have you did the GRN for the PO in the System, Then you need to reverse it,

If not then you can put a deletion indicator or a Block indicator to the line item & create a New line item with AAC & attach the Sales Order,

I assume you want attach the  Sales Order with AAC, since the AAC field would have become Greyed out you can try this, Check it helps you?

Tej,

Thanks for the reply. But this is the error message that occurs:

PO item cannot be retrosp. converted into order-dependent 3rd-party item

the message number is 06 252 and the long text explains in detail why the message is issued and that you cannot reference a requisition with item category S in an order item with item category blank.

delete the item in your PO and create a new PO item for the third party requisition.

so you can at least "save" the PO number.

We had to cancel the PO and re-create it. Thanks for the replies folks.

If you do not made any invoice then you can cancel the GR and create new PO then do GR ,You also need to inform venor what ever you create new PO.Other wise he may send goods again.
