Creating Purchase Orders for New Units of a Serialized Resource

If your organization does not use requisitions, you can simply create a new purchase order to purchase new units of a serialized resource. If your organization does use requisitions, you can turn approved requisitions into purchase orders. For more information on turning a requisition into a purchase order, please see Turning a Requisition into a Purchase Order.

Note: You cannot use manual requisitions to purchase new units. Resource units requisitioned on a manual requisition cannot be received into inventory.

This topic explains how to create a new purchase order to purchase new serialized resource units.
