About： Back to back order

chrise

Introduction
This function is used to convert a group of customer sales orders into supplier purchase orders. The generated POs will be associated with the sales orders at the detail line level.
Two selections are provided in Automatic Orders:
   A direct shipment of the products ordered from the supplier to the customer, without stock management - Direct Automatic Order
   A direct allocation of the incoming stock following the purchase order generated by the sales order - Received Automatic Order
Generally, Automatic Orders are only created for special products that are manufactured or ordered upon request.

前提条件：
Product Record
Controls Tab
The product must be set to enable Automatic Order to work. Indicate a quantity threshold, in sales units, in the Sales tab, to control when purchase orders would be selected as the fulfillment method for a sales order line.

Supplier Tab
The supplier with the highest priority on the supplier list (1 being the highest possible) is automatically chosen as the default for generating a PO. By activating the corresponding flag, you may specify which supplier should be selected. The chosen supplier will be used when the PO is generated from the sales order.
Sales Orders
Assign the Shipment Method field when entering a sales order. This field may be defaulted or modified by setting the parameters in the product record.
Price lists
In order to initialize the purchase order lines, a supplier price list must exist for the product concerned so as to set a gross price for this product.

The automatic orders are processed on a single screen, making it possible to select a group of customer orders having to be processed.
The following are the selection criteria:
   Order Number Range: To select one known group of orders
   Order Site Range: To extend the process to the group of orders placed on a given site
   Customer Range: To process only the orders placed by a given customer or customer group
   Date Range
These criteria can be used separately or together to specify the selection of the orders to be processed.
After the process is run, a log file displays the POs that were generated (if any). You may view them directly via the Sales Order function.
