Can Connex Ecommerce Create Purchase Orders In Intuit Enterprise Suite with Sales Orders?

Connex Ecommerce can link purchase orders and invoices to sales orders

Why create sales orders and purchase orders?

A manufacturer using Intuit Enterprise Suite may need to create a Sales Order and Purchase Order simultaneously to fulfill customer demand while ensuring the necessary raw materials, components, or finished goods are available.

The Sales Order records what the customer ordered, while the Purchase Order tells the supplier what materials or products must be purchased to fulfill that order. This is especially important for make-to-order manufacturing, special orders, and drop shipping, where inventory is purchased based on actual customer demand.

Can Connex Ecommerce create these transactions?

Yes, Connex Ecommerce can create a sales order and link the sales order to a purchase order. 

Each IES item must have a preferred vendor. If there are two products on the sales order and each product has a different vendor, then Connex Ecommerce will create two purchase orders. If there is no preferred vendor, then Connex Ecommerce will log an error.

To create sales orders and purchase orders, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Connex Ecommerce settings page.
  2. Click orders to accounting and select transaction type.
  3. Select sales orders, invoices and purchase orders as the transaction type. 

Can Connex Ecommerce create missing items, then create purchase orders for those items?

Yes, Connex Ecommerce can create the missing items. 

  1. On the Connex Ecommerce settings page, click product matching.
  2. Under advanced, select create non-inventory items.
  3. Under the basic tab, select create new products.

How does the vendor map?

For Shopify, Connex Ecommerce will map the product vendor from Shopify to Intuit Enterprise Suite. If you want to map the vendor differently, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Connex Ecommerce rules engine.
  2. Click add new rule.
  3. Scroll down to the bottom and select write without order number. Click submit.
  4. In the name field, enter the vendor.
  5. As the rule action, enter map order vendor.
  6. In conditions, enter product vendor, equals, ABC.
  7. In the value to change, enter ABC INC.

The rule will map the Shopify vendor from ABC to ABC INC.
