To combine all branches' purchase orders on a single sheet:In a central purchasing scheme purchase orders are printed on the same sheet because one branch orders for all branches and meet your vendor target more quickly. You can choose to print central purchasing purchase orders as separate sheets, but use the same purchase order number. With this printing format, each branch's purchases print on a separate sheet even though they are all on one purchase order. This functionality works with the drop points functionality. You are printing separate sheets for ease of delivering products to your branches. Each branch would receive an individual copy of the purchase order with only the items for that branch listed.
