Go To Purchase Order For Patient Order:

Received dates can be marked across all open orders instead of opening each purchase order in each patient order.
Click on the folder icon button in the grid to automatically open the associated order and display the purchase order details.
Un-Bundled purchase orders are found in the tab labeled Single, that have not been ordered (do not have an order date), have the same manufacturer, and can be bundled together. In addition the user can bundle purchase orders for the similar manufacturers together.  The bundled purchase orders are sent to the manufacturer as a single purchase in order to save on handling and shipping costs. The PO number (along with prefix and suffix if used) will be used directly when ordering from the manufacturer. Use the Bundled tab to view bundled purchase orders.
If bundling is used, the PO's sent to the manufacturer will not be contiguous, there will be PO numbers that are not used.
You can select orders for different manufacturers and the system will bundle each manufacturer separately. 
Sort the grid by the right most Ship To column to help bundle PO's separately for each location.
The purchase order bundle will automatically be assigned the next available PO Number that is not used in any other bundle or in any other single purchase order.  The assigned PO Number for the group will be used as the PO number sent to the manufacturer, and the individual purchase orders in that group will still contain a PO number, but this number will be for reference purposes only and will not be sent to the manufacturer.
The bundled PO's can also be un-bundled if the bundle is not ordered.  This will return the individual purchase orders to the tab labeled Single.
