Using "MULTIPLES" on a PO line

If it has to have more than one location to deliver to we either break out the PO into multiple lines, create separate POs (depending on if the locations are within the same internal company, or create no charge lines to use for delivery.

We use the no charge lines scheme whenever we have something that has to be prepaid. We have the first line for the $ value received by receiving so that accounting can generate a check. Then we have no charge line(s) for the product so that they can be received when they arrive and delivered to the end user. The same could work for a multiples situation. One line with multiples for billing and no charge lines for each deliver to location.

Thanks for the information Michelle, we will check out your process's.

We only use the Multiples function to distribute the cost to multiple accounts. For multiple delivery locations on one PO line you can add additional requesting locations on the PO Line Source screen (PO44.1) and divide the original quantity among them. When the line is received and the delivery ticket printed you will get a separate delivery ticket for each location.

Jon, that is really interesting, I am not familiar with the PO44.1 screen, and cannot access it directly, how do I get to PO44.1 ?

I thought that was a great answer too, Sheri, so I went looking for it. PO44 is the screen that you get to after you click MORE on the PO Line and then SOURCE.
