• Key Concepts: 
  A subordinate purchase order is a type of purchase order in SAP Business One (SBO). It is used to create a purchase order that is linked to an existing main purchase order. The subordinate purchase order will have the same information as the main purchase order, but it will also include additional items or services that are not included in the main purchase order. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a subordinate purchase order, first create a main purchase order. Then, select the “Create Subordinate Purchase Order” option from the menu. Enter the details of the additional items or services that need to be purchased and submit the subordinate purchase order. The subordinate purchase order will be linked to the main purchase order and will be visible in the system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a subordinate purchase order, make sure to double-check all of the details before submitting it. This will ensure that all of the items and services are correctly included in the subordinate purchase order and that there are no discrepancies between the two orders.
