titleProduct Line Item Consolidation

Komet Sales automatically consolidates all the identical items pre-sold in units as long as the following is met: same truck date, ship via option, product description, and same unit type. 

Warning
titleImportant

The system will not consolidate items when the setting Prebooks in units must be billed as boxes is on or the Prebook lines has notes.

Follow the steps described on the Creating Multiple Purchase Orders Using the Bulk Purchasing Mode article.

For Prebooks items in units that have been consolidated, the system will show an ellipsis (...) icon, when hovering over the ellipsis multiple prebook numbers and customer names for that line item will be displayed, as the system automatically groups similar units based on same truck date, ship via option, product description, and same unit type.
