Let me provide you with a few information about the purchase order, gijeet.
A purchase order (PO) is a document between a business and a supplier that outlines the products or services a buyer wants to purchase. Since PO is a non-posting transaction, you can delete and recreate the PO as my colleague @AileneA provided above. You'll just have to make sure that PO isn't linked to a transaction. To check, you can follow the steps below:
- Click Vendors on the upper menu.
- Select Vendor Center.
- Double-click the PO, then go to the Transactions tab on the right side and check if a transaction is being linked.
If so, unlink it first before deleting the PO. If not, you can delete and recreate it. After that, if there's a need to link PO to a bill after you've created it, you can follow the steps below:
- From the Vendors menu, pick Vendor Center.
- Select the vendor's name.
- In the Vendor Information section, find the Bill under the Transactions tab and double-click it.
- Choose the Select PO icon.
- Check all the purchase orders that need to be included on the bill.
- Click OK, then Save & Close.
