Use the Combine Purchase Orders (BPO) report to append up to twenty POs to one PO. In order to be combined, all of the POs must have the same order type and vendor. However, you can use the Copy Purchase Order feature to copy a PO to a different order type. The maximum number of lines that a single PO can have is 33,000 lines, so the number of lines on the combined PO cannot exceed that number. Note: if the same item is on multiple PO’s, BPO does not combine the order quantities; it creates a new line for each occurrence of that item.
You can combine POs that have different PO statuses. The table below shows the PO status combinations you can use.
