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.
Open the Purchase Order you want to replicate.
In the top right-hand corner, click on Clone.
A pop-up window will appear, "Enter the details for your new Purchase Order".
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.
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.
