PO Transactions Source Link

Use the Source Link option to indicate that the item on that line is being purchased for a specific use. The fields on this form will be filled in automatically if the order was generated from another transaction, such as an order from the Sales Order application or a requirement from the Manufacturing application. Refer to the topics for those applications for more information regarding the automated creation of a purchase order.

The process of receiving goods will have special functionality applied if a source transaction is indicated for a line item. When items are received, the Source Transaction will automatically be updated with the received quantity. For instance, a line on a Sales Order will be marked as 'Picked' as soon as the product is received in PO, and will be ready to be verified and invoiced.
