HI @helpdesk37 

Here are the steps:

To Link a Sales Order to an Existing Purchase Order

1. Open the Sales Orders (SO301000) form.
2. In the Order Type box, select the order type.
3. In the Order Nbr. box, select the reference number of the order to be linked.
4. On the Details tab, for each line that is marked for purchasing, do the following:
   1. Click the line, and on the table toolbar, click PO Link.
   2. In the Purchasing Details dialog box, which opens, select Purchase to Order in the PO Source box.
   3. In the Vendor box, select the vendor from which the items have to be purchased.
   4. In the Purchase Warehouse box, specify the destination warehouse.
   5. In the table of the dialog box, select the unlabeled check boxes in the row of a purchase order line to be linked to the sales order line.
   6. Click Save to link the orders and close the dialog box.
5. Save your changes to the sales order.

Hi @helpdesk37 

Is that line item marked as completed?

Thanks Kandy, 

The vendor is appearing and  I can choose, but nothing is appearing where I can specify the PO nbr, the PO type….. even if I mark the PO as completed

HI @helpdesk37 

That line for PO should not be marked as complete. Try to uncheck it and then see if it allows the link.

Also, does the PO you want to link have that item on it?

Hi @helpdesk37 were you able to find a solution? Thank you!

Hello, i’m looking to see if there’s an update on how to link a purchase order to a sales order, if the purchase order was created first. 

This doesn’t seem to be working:

After clicking PO LINK, what would cause the Purchasing Details window to be empty, i.e., no POs are listed.

The item and quantity on the SO and the PO are in agreement.

The SO is Open.

The PO is Awaiting Link.

Note: Some items on the PO are linked to another SO.

Based on the PO status, I’m assuming this is a Drop-Ship PO. If any PO lines are linked to a sales order, you can only link additional lines to that same SO - Drop-Ship SOs and Drop-Ship POs can be linked one-to-one only.

Please also make sure that the PO Source on the SO line is set to Drop-Ship and the quantity matches on the SO and PO lines.

Thank you. All set!
