Warning
titleWarning

Growers can only confirm orders according to a limit set by users in which users establish how many days in advance a Grower can confirm a Purchase Order. This is done in case there are changes that need to be done to that order. For more information you can visit: How to set a limit on Purchase Order Confirmations

Info
titleImportant

It's important to point out that if you want the system to create the purchase order automatically once a SO is generated, all of the standing order fields have to be complete, including each line item. Even if you are manually generating multiple Standing Orders the system will not create a PO for those SO line items that are incomplete (missing vendor and/or cost). 

The image below is a good example of this situation. The standing order is marked as incomplete, but the only line item that will not be included on the PO is the one missing Vendor and Cost information.

When manually generating the Prebooks from Standing Orders you have to pay special attention to the following information:

  • In case the automatic generation of Prebooks based on SOs is enabled, you should always verify if the Prebooks have already been generate before using the manual option, since this could double up the orders.
