PO Lookup on Vouchers by PO Store, Bill To Store
When creating a voucher and referencing a purchase order, you can search for a PO by the Bill To Store or the PO Store. This is especially useful for multi-store operations.

  • Use the Bill To Store filter to search for POs by the store to which the merchandise is allocated (e.g., for drop-ship multi-store or marked for multi-store purchase orders).
  • Use the PO Store filter to search for POs by the store where the merchandise will be sent (e.g., for drop ship single-store purchase orders).
