Purchase Order Document Processing

There are no user implications for purchase order documents, but some additional processing occurs if a purchase order detail is linked to a sales order:

If the document is updating stock to show that goods have been received, then the sales order detail is also updated with the quantity of this item received

If the quantity received makes the total received so far equal to or greater than the order quantity on the sale order, then the purchase order status in the sales order detail is changed to D to show the whole sales order can be processed

If a purchase credit document causes the quantity received to fall below the original sales order quantity, then the purchase status flag on the sales order detail is changed back to the value P
