  Cause:
  
  
  Collective Purchase Orders: This message is triggered when the system has grouped multiple purchase requisitions into a single purchase order. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Similar items being requested from the same vendor.
  Purchase requisitions being created for the same delivery date or similar conditions.
  Settings in the system that allow for collective processing of requisitions.
  
  
  
  Application Log: The mention of an application log indicates that the system has recorded the details of the collective purchase order generation process. This log can provide insights into what requisitions were combined and any issues that may have arisen during the process.

  Review the Application Log: Check the application log for details on the collective purchase orders generated. This log can provide information on which purchase requisitions were combined and any warnings or errors that may have occurred.

  Adjust Settings: If the collective purchase order generation is not desired, you may need to adjust the settings in the system. This could involve changing the configuration for how purchase requisitions are processed or modifying the criteria for collective processing.
  
  
  Communication with Stakeholders: If the collective purchase orders are causing confusion or issues, communicate with relevant stakeholders (e.g., procurement team, vendors) to clarify the situation and ensure everyone is aligned.
