Link a WFS Shipment Plan to a PO


Overview

Linking and Copying a WFS Shipment Plan to a Purchase Order is a convenient way to order quantity for WFS. Note that you can only link one WFS shipment plan to one purchase order.

You can only link to an existing PO if there are no items in that PO.

There are four WFS Shipment Plans to PO Sync Options:

  • Copy To New PO and Copy To Existing PO. These will copy this shipment’s items to a PO.

  1. Navigate to Inventory > WFS Shipment Plans > Manage WFS Shipment Plans.
  2. Search for a Shipment and open it.
  3. Navigate to the Shipments Panel and select one.
  4. Action Menu > Generate/Sync PO.

    1. Link to New PO
    2. Link to Existing PO
    3. Copy to New PO
    4. Copy to Existing PO
  6. Choose an option and click Next.
  7. You will need to enter a new/existing PO Name and a Vendor if you’re linking/copying to a new PO.
