GPv6-From SOP to POP convert to POP to SOP setting 1

[markajem]

Presently we are SOP to POP. If we enter a dropship sales order the SOP generates that POP for each of the line items. When we were first set up the consultants asked us if we wanted it this way or entering a POP to generate a SOP. Our problem is becoming that now we have many more vendors. Therefore one sales order may involve more than one vendor. We feel it would be better for us to enter the Purchase Order (POP) which would then create the sales orders (SOP).

Is there a settings that we missed. Have looked all over for it.

Thanks
Mark

There's no reverse transaction in Great Plains from SOP-POP to POP-SOP. In Navision Attain, you can complete either both side first but in Great Plains the Purchasing side needs to be completed (invoicing the drop-ship order) before you can complete the Sales processing.

You're best bet is not to create the PO from the Sales Order. Create the drop-ship PO's then link them to the Sales Order. If this is more work then assigning a Primary Vendor Id in the item makes life easier for data entry because it always assign a vendor when you try to purchase an item from sales order.
