In some scenarios you may want to allow certain vendors to enter purchase orders on your behalf in order to optimize your buyers time.In order to do this the vendors will need to create a Purchase Order for themselves with the items that they're going to ship. As soon as the PO is created the system will automatically approve it so that the vendor can view the products under the "Confirm POs" page and follow the normal procedure to confirm and ship items.
Instructions
In order to enable "Purchase Order creation" for your vendors you need to follow these steps:
Go to the "Setup" tab at the main menu and choose "Vendors".
