# PO Creation Methods

Within the application, QMC supports the creation of Purchases Orders to send to Vendors for additional costs. The system will generate a standard NetSuite Purchase Order.

Calculated values on the Cost record are used to determine the item, rates, and amounts on the Purchase Order.

The application supports multiple PO creation methods. The default method is defined on the TradeQloud Setup record, but can be modified on budget / transaction records. The following methods are supported:

<table><thead><tr><th>Name</th><th>Description</th><th data-type="checkbox">Available for Landed Costs?</th><th data-type="checkbox">Available for Sales Costs?</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>No PO</td><td>This option indicates that no Purchase Order will be created. This is typically used for internal costs.</td><td>true</td><td>true</td></tr><tr><td>Create Individual Cost PO</td><td>This option indicates that a new, Purchase Order will be created specifically for this cost.</td><td>true</td><td>true</td></tr><tr><td>Consolidate with other Costs on same PO</td><td>This option indicates that the costs will be grouped together with other costs for the same entity on a Purchase Order.</td><td>true</td><td>true</td></tr><tr><td>Add to Source Transaction</td><td>This option indicates that the costs will be added to the Source Transaction, merging the costs into a single transaction.</td><td>false</td><td>false</td></tr><tr><td>Add to existing PO</td><td>This option indicates that the landed cost should be added to an existing Purchase Order. If selected, the Purchase Order must also be selected.</td><td>false</td><td>false</td></tr></tbody></table>
