The Consumption Order of a Purchase Order determines the sequence in which POs will be applied by the system when generating invoices. By default, this field is set to 1 and must be a positive integer; it cannot be negative or set to 0. This ensures that POs are utilized in a logical and efficient manner during the invoicing process.
This article explains how to override the default consumption order for POs within a specific project. By adjusting the consumption order, you can control which POs are applied first, allowing for better management of project budgets and expenditures. This feature is particularly useful for projects with multiple POs, helping to ensure that funds are allocated according to your preferences and project requirements.
