Duplicating an existing PO

You can also create a PO by duplicating a PO that already exists for the project.

When you duplicate a PO in Wrapbook, it will copy over the header and detail information into a new PO with the following exceptions:

  • If you use approval workflows for POs, the status will be set to Draft/Unapproved

  • If auto-numbering is turned on, the PO will be auto-assigned the next number

  • If auto-numbering is turned off, you’ll be prompted to enter a number

To duplicate an existing PO:

  1. In the left-side navigation, click the dropdown menu and select the project that the PO is part of

  2. In the left-side navigation, expand the Cost tracking menu and then click Purchase Orders

  3. Use the search bar and filters to find the PO that you want to duplicate

  4. Click the PO # to open the PO page

  5. Click the More button, then select Duplicate

Select a project, expand the Cost tracking menu, and then click Purchase orders.  To duplicate a PO, click on its PO #.

Click the More button and then select Duplicate
