You can move an item from one purchase order to another in case a more fitting supplier is available (for example, cheaper or faster), one supplier cannot deliver an item and you want to order from another supplier, an order is created for a locked supplier and you found a replacement supplier, or you want to combine purchase orders to reach purchasing conditions.
To move items between purchase orders:
In the navigation, click Purchasing and then click Supplier Orders.
In the list of orders, select and open the order, from which you want to move items.
In the Order Lines tab select the order lines you want to move and click Move in the toolbar.
Select the target order and click Move. The target order containing the moved items is opened.
Save your changes in both the original and target purchase order.
Notes:
- The list of suggested purchase orders is filtered and only shows suppliers assigned to the selected item.
- When you move order lines, supplier-related fields are updated automatically (for example supplier item number, supplier price, delivery date) to match the target supplier. The item information and ordered quantity stay the same. If the target order already contains this item, only the quantity is increased.
