We run this task daily and are coming across some inconsistencies.  It appears when purchasing runs this task (we run it per vendor no), it will generate the purchase report, then they will generate the PO after reviewing the report maybe 2-5 minutes later.  On this example, the SO was on the original report and this line generated on the PO#0011993.  The inconsistent part was the PO# did not populate the SO, so today when we ran the Auto Generate PO from SO, it looked at this SO line thinking it wasn't ordered yet.  We have the SO audit enhancement from DSD, and I can see where purchasing added the PO (assuming when they ran the Auto generate) for the second  (duplicate PO) time, but the PO# field was empty, but should of had PO#0011993 in it.

The only other edit to that field was another user correcting the PO# to the original PO# today.

This is not the first time this has happened, I always thought it was because of timing if someone had the SO open, but I am wondering if there is another reason.
