Epicor’s PO Suggestions feature is one of the strongest features of the software, and is a great time saver. I say “Buyers should BUY, they should not be data entry people typing POs”.
Epicor can take the “Suggestions” and automatically generate all the POs as you have found… and it will consolidate like items when it finds that efficient.
There is a trick to keep them from getting combined, and that is to make something unique for each one. One company I know wanted the same thing, so they made a BPM fire on all BTO Materials on a JOB, and in the Purchasing Comments added the Job Number… if the purchasing comments are different, then it creates different PO Lines. I believe that you can probably do the same thing on the sales order.
