Hi David,

Please refer to Suite Answers article : 10978, you will have to make use of the ‘Add’ operation via web services in order to create the Purchase Order.

The article also contains sample SOAP requests.

Thanks

Please see myu post below.

Let me restate my question using a visual.

Please look at the sales item of a Sales Order in the photo. You will see two links that read: “Drop Ship” and “Spec. Ord.”. Next to the links is a vendor.

By clicking one of those two links, the user can create a Purchase Order that is linked to the Sales Order.

How can I make THAT happen through Netsuite Webservices?

Hi David,

– Via WS if you want the PO to be created directly for a drop ship Item, then you will have to set the orderStatus in your request to ‘pendingFulfillment’ and item record should have ‘dropShip’ field marked as True

– This will automatically create the PO and place the link in the createPO column when viewed in the UI

– From web services schema for Sales Order the ‘createPO’ field would display the string value : dropShip or specialOrder and ‘createdPO’ element would display the internal id of the created PO

In terms of emulating the other behaviour in the UI of manually creating the PO by clicking the dropShip/specialOrder link via WS I believe is not possible and the purchase order will have to be created stand alone using the add operation

I will try to further test and get back to you in case I find another way to do it.

Thanks

It isn’t a drop ship. It’s a standard order. Does that matter?

My question is, can the PO’s “createdFrom” property be changed so that it links back to the SO?

I have also been looking for a way to create a Purchase Order and associate it to a SalesOrder. Is this possible via the API?

[Nelliott]

Not sure if you’d be able to do this in the context your proposing but have you looked at nlapiTransformRecord?

If you transform an SO to a PO you will find that the relationship is bidirectional and evident on both records. (ie “createdfrom” on PO will be a link to the SO)

[ahawks122]

I am looking to create the PO via SuiteTalk and associate it to the Sales Order, which I don’t think is possible. I think the solution you are proposing will use SuiteScript, which will require a custom API.

Just a little background so you understand. We have SOs and POs in our current system we would like to re-create in Netsuite. The problem with letting Netsuite create the PO automatically is it may not send the PO to the correct vendor and we want the PO to match what is in our current system.
