Creating a Purchase Order Using a Purchase Group

If you are not used to accounting tasks and need to do a purchase order for an item, you need to use what is called a purchase group, that correspond to the type of item that you need to order.

If you register directly the manual invoice (see Acquiring a Fixed Asset with the Manual Supplier Invoice), then this process using a purchase order is not necessary.

  4. In the tab No Part Lines, fill the fields:
    1. Purchase Group: select a purchase group that is marked as CIP (Construction in progress).
    2. Description: enter Construction in progress.
    3. Purch UoM.
    4. Price/Curr.
    5. Click Save.


  5. Expand Attachments panel on the bottom of the page and go to the Approval Process tab.
  6. Click Copy Approval Template.

    A new pane appears.
  7. Select the template referring to the approbation of the purchase order.
