Overview

In some scenarios you may want to allow certain vendors to have the ability to create their own shipments. In order to do this the vendors will have 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:

1. Go to "Setup" tab in the main menu and choose "Vendors".         

     2.  Select the "Vendor" and click on "edit" on the right hand side under the column "Actions".

           3.  Go to the tab "Options" check the box "Allow create POs" and click "Save".
