Proposal summary

This proposal addresses the creation of automated purchase orders from sales orders based on the preferred vendor for the corresponding items.

Requirement 

Change the CREATE PO to create POs based on preferred vendor instead of just ZT RMB vendor by default. So if SO has items for 3 different preferred vendors, it will create 3 POs (one per vendor).

Our Solution

1. We will make changes to the existing CREATE PO script.
2. Instead of the standalone vendor “ZT RMB,” the new purchase order creation will be based on the preferred vendor of the item record.
3. This means that we will generate multiple purchase orders from a single sales order.
4. If any items do not have a preferred vendor. We will place a purchase order with vendor “Balaji China” (Internal id: 26262452) for these items 
5. The existing functionality of the requested receipt date, expected shipment date, promised receipt date will be applicable for all purchase orders.

Assumptions

1. Rohit has not yet confirmed the dropship functionality in the sandbox. We have not yet put this drop-ship script update into production. With this multiple purchase order update, we will also take this functionality into the production account.
