Ensure all material items have a supplier added.
Step 2.
Navigate to the Purchase Orders screen and click on New PO from Assembly.
Step 3.
A pop-up screen will display. Select the Assembly you would like to purchase the components of. (Please note the suggested supplier is chosen for each assembly component. The purchase orders will not generate if there are no suppliers for the material item.)
Step 4.
Click on Use Stock on Hand to only purchase components if there is insufficient stock.
Ticking this option will only purchase the difference between what you have in stock and what is required.
Step 5.
Once you have selected the Assembly you would like to generate purchase orders for, click on Generate POS.
Step 6.
Draft purchase orders will then be created for the components of that assembly, for each supplier. Two purchase orders have two items, and one has one item, matching how many components there are in the assembly.
Step 7.
The purchase orders can then be reviewed before saving them as sent.
