PO Fields NOT Populating When Generating from Sales Order

edited Jul 20, 2007 2:36PM in Web Site / E-Commerce 4 comments

We have a bunch of items that can either be backordered, or special ordered (as Netsuite defines it). 

Tonight I noticed that when generating a Purchase Order from an existing Sales Order (because 0 stock or whatever), many of the item fields that I have defined for my Custom Purchase Order Form were not being populated. 

After some fiddling around, it seems like all Netsuite does is take whatever information was grabbed at the time of the Sales Order, and push that on through to the Purchase Order.  Naturally, there are MANY fields that are necessary for a Purchase Order, that would be totally useless to show at the time of a Sales Order.  (i.e. for items that you would never backorder or special order?)

Howdy, Stranger!
