Consolidated PO across stores

When to use this: Use Consolidated PO when you manage more than one store and want to order low-stock medicines together.

Create a consolidated purchase order

Open Purchases and select the Consolidated PO tab.

BitMed shows low-stock medicines from all stores.
Select the medicines you want to order.

The table shows the store, current stock, reorder level, and suggested quantity.
Choose how to create the order:
- Select Supplier for PO to create one PO for the selected supplier.
- Turn on Group by primary supplier to create one PO for each medicine's primary supplier.
Review the consolidated quantities. BitMed combines the selected quantity for the same medicine and shows the store-wise split.
Click Generate PO or Generate POs by supplier.

The created orders are available in the Purchase Orders tab. To receive the goods, use the normal GRN process described in Goods Receipt.

Group by primary supplier only works for medicines that have a primary supplier mapped. Unmapped ones are skipped and BitMed tells you how many — order those manually instead, or pick a supplier and use Generate PO.
If a medicine has no purchase rate on record for that supplier, BitMed stops and asks you to enter one before it will generate the order.
