Create child sales orders from a blanket sales order, do not consolidate lines onto one SO sales order

Hello,

We have a blanket sales order.

Multiple lines each with the same inventory ID.

When we create child orders from the blanket, we need each line to be it’s own new SO sales order.

Acumatica consolidates all lines into 1 new sales order of type SO.

 

The only way we can see to keep Acumatica from consolidating all lines in 1 SO sales order is to use a different location on the BL line item.

I cannot find a preference or setting that says “Do not consolidate” or anything like that.  And the only way we have found top prevent the consolidation is by using different locations on the line, which we do not want to do.

 

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Larry,

You are welcome. I looked several places to see what I could do and there seems to be nothing currently out of the box to achieve what you are looking for.

Hi ​@ltussing03 

I tested in my local and there is Ship-To Location on the lines, if you chose a different ship-to, the system creates separate orders. That’s the only way I found to do it as well. Maybe create an idea for Acumatica. I couldn’t find a checkbox on the SO type or anywhere else.

Kandy,

Thanks for the reply! 

I really appreciate it.

Yes, we have found using different locations is the only way we can accomplish this.   That’s what I was trying to convey in the original post.

 

We were hoping we could use something else.  

There could be 20 lines on the Blanket and the customer may only have 3 locations.

If I can’t find something, I am usually missing it.

If Larry AND Kandy can’t find something, it doesn’t exist.

 

THANKS!!!!

Have you tried setting a different scheduled order date for each of the lines?  I believe we’ve used that column on the blanket sales order to create multiple sales orders for the same ship to location.  If each line has a different date, it creates a unique sales order for each one because they can’t ship on the same day.
