How can I link Work Order parts to Purchase Orders

If you want to create a Purchase Order (PO) for different parts that you need to use in a specific Work Order (WO), you can link these orders so that you can buy specifically what you need for that WO and keep track of the purchasing process. In this article, you can consult the steps required. 

Creating the Purchase Order:

From the Purchase Order browser click the "New Purchase Order" green button.

A new window will open allowing you to enter the purchase and parts information. You need to fill out all the required fields. Then add a new part, using the "Add New Part" button, then copy the Work Order number which contains the part or parts you need to purchase, into the "WO #" field. You'll then be given the option to select the parts assigned to that WO.

Save your changes by clicking the "Save" button. 

After this, you'll already have the PO linked to the WO.

Once the purchase is complete, go back to the PO and click on the "enter/update" option. This way, when you return to the work order related to that PO, the "purchased" status will be reflected in the WO parts.
