[jira] Commented: (OFBIZ-584) Consolidate orders

["Iain Fogg (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Iain Fogg commented on OFBIZ-584:
---------------------------------

Perhaps an extension to this idea is to extend the Quick PO generation tool in Requirements to allow the selection of an existing PO. If such a selection is made, the new Requirements are added to the existing PO, otherwise a new PO is created.

In this case, there would probably need to be a rule that says POs can only be extended if they are in the "Created" state (presumably, any other state means the PO is further advanced down its lifecycle, and changing the order in this way should be disallowed).

> During the course of processing purchase orders (usual over several days), two or more orders for the same supplier might be created. It would be extremely useful to be able to consolidate these orders into a single order.
> The typical scenario here is that POs are generated from Requirements, which are often reviewed and approved on a daily basis. Sometimes the size of the generated order might be too small to send to the supplier, so you need to wait for a day or two to accumulate more items.
