Info

If any job orders you bulk assign to a purchase order are already assigned to another purchase order, those job orders will be reassigned to the new purchase order. Historic spend remains allocated against the original purchase order and future spend will be allocated against the new purchase order.

If a job order has been invoiced against the wrong purchase order, and you want the spend history to be reassigned to the new purchase order, you must also reassign the relevant closed invoice items to the new purchase order (for more information, see Assigning/Reassigning Closed Invoice Items to Purchase Orders).

To bulk assign job orders to a debtor purchase order, find and open the relevant Debtor record in the Debtor Entry screen and follow the procedure below.
