Sales order to purchase order is a utility created by CI. The utility processes the items in the sales order and creates a purchase order for the item. We recently added the feature of processing multiple items in a sales order as processing just one item in a sales order was very limiting.

Solution

The program creates one invoice per sales order and one or more purchase orders as per requirement. The challenge was to build the logic that would recognize that multiple line items on a sales order could be combined into the same invoice and purchase order if the order had variations only in terms of attributes such as size, color etc. So to enable the logic, the program identifies the unique inventory assembly by considering values in the item number field up to specified character only. The solution was designed to work with QuickBooks Enterprise 10.0.
