Version: eXtendOrders 2.0.0 and above
Audience: Administrator, User

Overview

The Consolidated Vendor PO feature in eXtendOrders offers the flexibility to consolidate all Purchase Orders for a vendor across all Order Imprint Configuration (OIC) clusters, or to distribute them per OIC cluster. The default setting for this feature can be configured by your NetSuite Administrator using either a workflow or custom form configurations. However, you can also modify this setting for individual orders as needed.

When the eXtend - Consolidated Vendor PO field is enabled, eXtendOrders will consolidate all items and decorations from all OIC records into a single Purchase Order for each vendor. When the feature is disabled, Purchase Orders will be separated per OIC cluster even when vendors are the same.

Important: There are scenarios where the Purchase Order may be split even if eXtend - Consolidated Vendor PO field is enabled. For more details, refer to Multiple Purchase Orders Created for the same Vendor.

Scenario: You have 2 OIC clusters on a Sales Order, both containing items from Blank Vendor X, with decoration for Cluster A provided by Decorator Vendor A, and Decoration for Cluster B by Decorator Vendor B:
  1. If Consolidated Vendor PO is disabled:
    1. A total of 4 Purchase Orders will be created.
    2. Two Purchase Orders will be for Blank Vendor X (one for each OIC Cluster), and one each for the Decorators (Decorator Vendor A and Decorator Vendor B).
  2. If Consolidated Vendor PO is enabled:
    1. Only 3 Purchase Orders will be created.
    2. The two Purchase Orders for Blank Vendor X will be merged into one, and Decorator Vendor A and Decorator Vendor B will each have a separate Purchase Order.
