When the bill creates before the purchase order
Sometimes vendors send bills before you've created a purchase order in your system. Instead of manually recreating all the bill details in a new PO, this module lets you generate the purchase order directly from the bill with one click.

How it works
Step 1: Click Create PO button to start the process
Step 2: Confirm creation if all looks good
Step 3: View created purchase order via smart button
Step 4: Navigate between linked documents
What gets transferred to the PO
- Vendor and company details
- Product lines with quantity, unit price and UoM (Unit of Measure)
- Supplier taxes (mapped through fiscal position if applicable)
- Partner's default payment term and Currency
- Bill date (or current date if not set)
Note: Only bills with a
product are converted to purchase order lines. Review the
created purchase order before confirming it, especially if your
workflow requires specific approvals or checks.
