Cause

The Purchase Order is being created by copying an existing Purchase Order instead of being generated from a Sales Order with fulfillment set to External.

Resolution

  1. Ensure that Purchase Orders intended for third-party fulfillment are created directly from a Sales Order with fulfillment set to External.
  2. Verify that the Sales Order is correctly assigned and configured to generate the Purchase Order.
  3. Purchase Order created via Sales Order only appears in the Third-Party Order Fulfillment Work Center.
