Create an SMI PO Type from PO Suggestions

Is there a way from within New PO Suggestions to generate a PO Type other than Standard?

We have some Supplier Managed Inventory and have always had to manually create POs in Purchase Order Entry when the PO Type (POHeader.POType) needs to be set as SMI, rather than be able to utilize the (much easier) functionality of generating POs from new suggestions.

Is this possible in any way? If possible, is there some trigger to enable in order to tell it to create a PO that is PO Type = SMI, or would it have to be through BPM/Function/Custom code?

Run a trace on Generate Purchase Orders and see what you get.

You should be able to find the call it makes to create the PO then inject your new PO Type. :slight_smile:

Yep, that’s what I would do. Was just curious if maybe there was something simple I was missing to turn that functionality on, though didn’t expect that there was.
