Generate PO's Resulted in Six PO's for Same Supplier, Instead of One

We recently upgraded from E10 to Kinetic 2023.1.12. Yesterday one of our buyers tried to generate a single PO for 28 “other” type parts that originated on four different requisitions. When he clicked Generate Purchase Orders in the Actions menu of New PO Suggestions, six separate PO’s were generated. He said all suggestions had the same supplier and purchase point entered prior to generating PO’s.

I haven’t heard of multiple PO’s being generated for the same supplier before, except when different purchase points are entered on the suggestions. Is there a setting in Requisition Entry or New PO Suggestions that might cause multiple PO’s to be generated?

All of the parts involved have part numbers generated on the fly (i.e. not part numbers previously entered in the part master.)

What are the due dates on the releases for this vendor?

All due dates are 11/3/23, except two parts which are due 11/9/23.

With different due dates, only one PO should be generated.
If the Purchase Point, BuyerID, ShipVia, Terms are the same the expected results is one PO.
