Convert sales order into purchase order

[Robert-Ver]

Feature Request

Hi,
It would be a great advantage if a sales order could be converted into a purchase order from the relevant sales order.
This saves a lot of time and prevents errors when entering.

Use case

The sales order is copied to a purchase order template. If desired, products can still be added or removed here.

Suggested implementation

Add a button to the approved sales order for conversion.

Suggested steps

seems to already be implemented - except for the "preventing errors" :-D #28962

@ksar-ksar can this issue be closed?

@JonBendtsen I don't have that drop-down option on v19.02. How to enable?

Which status is your order in? Have you enabled the vendor module?

[jman482002]

Yes Sales Order and Vendor Modules, both enabled. Only option for Validated Sales Order is to create shipment:

Enabled Invoices module and got a drop-down. But no Purchase Order option:

Status is Validated

[JonBendtsen]

Enabled Invoices module and got a drop-down. But no Purchase Order option:

Are your user authorized to create a purchase order?

Yes

@JonBendtsen I think I may have figured out the descrepancy. Are you in the Purchase Order screen when experiencing this drop-down?

If so, this is not according to the topic: Convert sales order into purchase order (from Sales Order)

@ksar-ksar I would suggest re-opening this topic bc it would be a seriously awesome improvement!

FYI: my demo dolibarr is still running 19.0.1 so my pictures is from there

Hi @jman482002
19.0.2 working instance here, works as expected!
Sorry not a bug!
Have you checked your permissions?

[jman482002]

Hello @sonikf
Are you running a docker image as well?

[sonikf]

No!
My main instance is in a shared host and my secondary( for testing purposes) is a local ubuntu installation.

[sonikf]

Just tested in 20.0.0, also works as expected

[jman482002]

There must be an explanation out there for how to enable this feature. Anyone?

[jman482002]

Finally figured it out!
For the record, the Sales Order must have at least one line of service!?!?
This helped:
#29782

What a bizarre choice! (I'll call it a bug bc it makes no sense to me.)

I sell mostly products (physical items). This is why it did not work for me. In order to get it to work, I had to add a mock service item:

I looks like this might have been fixed since my version v19.02. Can anyone confirm these findings?

Thanks to everyone.

Hi @jman482002
You are right, I always have shipping expenses!
I have submitted a pr to backport this to 19
