Project Purchase Orders

Hi everyone, Lets explore some features available to create Purchase orders in D365 F&O for project accounting modules and when the items are consumed based on the process that you will use.

Directly From Project

• you can create a PO directly From the Project & it's used mostly once the stock items is not present or you want some external vendor services.
• Items are consumed immediately upon invoicing the PO untill the Item requirements is not enabled if its enabled system will ask either you want to consume now or later.

From a Sales order

• This method is used only in Time & Material projects because no other Project allows creation of sales order type as a Sales order.
• Items are consumed when the sales order is invoiced to the customer

From item Requirements

• Po is created from the item requirements normally used in fixed cost projects.
• Items are conumsed when the packing slip is posted.

Happy Learning 😊 …
