I do this using the Requirements subsystem. You need to decide whether requirements should be generated based on QoH, ATP, etc. You should select the default reqs in the product store setting, but you can override this at the product level if you want/need to.

Once you raise a SO, the system will determine whether you have sufficient stock on hand to satisfy the order and whether requirements should be generated for the stock. Assuming this is the case, you go into the Requirements screens and Approve the requirements, and then jump to the Approved Requirement screen, select the relevant suppliers, and click on the "Create Purchase Order" link at the bottom.

I'm sure others will recommend using the MRP subsystem, but I'm running a 12/06 version of OFBiz and the MRP stuff doesn't work too well in this old version - migration to the latest and greatest is WIP :-)

Hi Guys,

When I create a Sales Order via order entry in admin, is there a way to have
following Purchase Orders to be generated to respective vendors and filled
with all the data so I would just need to review them, edit if needed and
approve?

Thanks for any tips.
