We are new to Acumatica, we still have not gone live yet and in the processes of learning the processes before we go live.  

Question is, we have multiple salesmen that will be creating sales orders and will be marking for po several line items at times.  When a vendor has minimums or if we can get quantity breaks, common practice is to compile a few separate sales orders into one purchase order.  When a few sales orders are marked for po, can those line items be added to one purchase order to one vendor instead of sending several purchase orders, which will not give us the minimums or price breaks needed?

Check out the Create Purchase Orders screen (PO505000).

 

After the sales team has marked items for PO, you should see those requests populate here. Filter by vendor, item, warehouse etc and you should get to just the items/vendor you want to create a PO from. When you click Process All, that will group all those PO requests into a single PO where you can enjoy your quantity breaks etc. 

If your vendor has true order minimums you have to reach - then running that through replenishment with 0/0 Min/Max is a better approach than PO requests but it won’t link the allocations back to the SO and could cause you to buy excess stock
