Create repeat Purchase Orders quickly with the Clone function.

The Clone function for a Purchase Order allows you to replicate any Purchase Order, whether it's in a Parked, Placed, Receipted, Completed or Deleted status. This helps to save time when creating new, repeat orders for Suppliers or when creating a new, corrected Purchase Order to replace a previous one.

Important: Purchase Order cloning is not supported on Lite subscriptions; upgrade to Core or Pro.

  1. Open the Purchase Order you want to replicate.

  2. In the top right-hand corner, click on Clone.

  3. A pop-up window will appear, "Enter the details for your new Purchase Order".

  4. Fill in the available fields to align with your new Purchase Order's requirements:

    • Supplier Code (required)

    • Supplier Reference (optional)

    • Delivery Date (optional)

    • Use supplier/product price and discount: When ticked, the new Supplier's prices will apply. If unticked, the prices from the original Purchase Order will apply.

  5. Select Clone Purchase Order, and a new Purchase Order will be created in Parked status.

Deleted Purchase Orders can only be cloned individually; there is no bulk cloning option. As an alternative, prepare an Import Purchase Order CSV template file to recreate deleted Purchase Orders in bulk. Just remember to provide a new, unique order number for each Purchase Order as their original numbers cannot be reused.

You can also clone a Purchase Order in the View Purchases page, by hovering over the Action Cog along the original Purchase Order's row and selecting Clone.
