I think you’ll need to split it on two lines. I don’t think one line will allow you to do two PO’s. I might be wrong.

hey ​@DenizAtalay ,
Acumatica out of the box doesnt allow the users to create a single PR for multiple vendors. You could either split the PO or maybe develop a customization that would allow you to implement the scenario.

@Jeff96 thanks for your response. Unfortunately, I also believe that this is the case!

@harshitasethia74 thanks for your response. But it’s not a single PR for multiple vendors, but different PRs from different vendors for the same orderposition.

Hi ​@DenizAtalay 
 

Best practice for this scenario is to link both Purchase Orders back to the same Sales Order line.

Recommended process:

  1. Create the Sales Order
    Enter SO for 20 pieces (item out of stock).

  2. Create first PO from SO
    On the SO line, use Create Purchase Order (Mark for PO or Purchase to Order).
    Create PO to Vendor 1 for 20 pieces (linked to SO).

  3. Receive partial quantity
    Create Purchase Receipt for 10 pieces from Vendor 1.
    Release the receipt.
    Those 10 pieces will be available to ship for that SO.

  4. Reduce or close remaining qty on PO1
    On PO1, reduce remaining quantity from 20 to 10 (or close remaining 10).

  5. Create second PO for remaining 10
    From the same SO line, create another PO to Vendor 2 for 10 pieces.
    This keeps both POs properly linked to the same SO line.

  6. Receive remaining 10
    Process Purchase Receipt from Vendor 2.
    Then complete shipment for remaining quantity.

Important
Both POs must reference the same SO line (Purchase to Order or Mark for PO).
Do not manually create unrelated POs, or the allocation to the SO will not happen automatically.

Hope this works.

@aryanjadhav50 thanks for your respond. Unfortunately the process you described doesen’t work in every step. Without splitting the SO-Position I couldn’t create another PO.
