The Clone P.O. tool is a time-saving feature that allows you to create an exact duplicate of an existing Purchase Order. Instead of manually re-entering line items, supplier details, and project codes, you can generate a new draft in seconds and make only the necessary adjustments.

When to Use "Clone P.O."

This feature is most effective in the following scenarios:

• Recurring Orders: If you order the same supplies or services on a regular basis (e.g., monthly office supplies or weekly raw materials), cloning a previous order is the fastest way to restock.
• Correcting Mistakes: If a Purchase Order was accidentally closed or cancelled before it was finalized, you can clone it to "start over" without losing your progress.
• Minor Adjustments: If you need to send a nearly identical order to the same supplier but need to change a single quantity or delivery date, cloning allows you to skip the initial setup.
• Split Orders: If you need to create a similar order for a different branch or department, you can clone the original and simply update the "Branch" or "Project" field.

How to Clone a Purchase Order

1. Navigate to your Purchase Orders list.
2. Open the specific P.O. you wish to duplicate.
3. Click the Clone P.O. button onthe top toolbar of the PO
4. A new Draft P.O. will be generated. Review the details, make any necessary changes to quantities or dates, and click Submit to start the approval process.
   
   
   

Note: Cloning a P.O. does not link the two documents. The new P.O. will have a unique identification number and will follow its own independent approval and tracking workflow.
