Adding Items to an Existing Purchase Order
There might be occasions when you are receiving a purchase order and you need to add items to it. Perhaps extra items were sent that you are going to receive or maybe your business process is to add new items to the same purchase order, even after previously received items were posted. If you only need to change the quantity received of an item in the order, type the amount in the Quantity Received/Returned field in the PO Receive Items window and continue with the receiving process. If you need to add a completely new item to the order, the instructions in this topic will assist you.
To add an item to a purchase order:
1 In the PO# field of the Receive Items window, enter the purchase order number to which you want to add items or select it from the Lookup.
2 When the purchase order you selected appears, click the Add Item(s) button to open the PO Add Items window.
