Overview
You can create Purchase Orders directly from Service, Repair, or Tyre records. These Purchase Orders will be generated based on the details of the respective Service, Repair, or Tyre, including any Parts added to the associated Workorder. If a Purchase Order is already linked, the following steps will update it provided that the Part's 'Supplier' matches the 'Supplier' of the linked Purchase Order. In cases where there are multiple Parts from different Suppliers, multiple Purchase Orders will be generated accordingly.
