We tend to use the same item multiple times in a PR/PO because each line is for a different purpose/cost code/location. Is there a way to print the supplier-facing PO so that the repeating items are grouped and their quantities summed?

You should be able to do that within the Advanced PDF Template used to print your PO: • https://freemarker.apache.org/docs/index.html

You can definitely do this w/ freemarker. I just showed someone how to do this on 3/4 so if you scroll up you should see it. It's about tshirt sizes.

thank you so much. will definitely test this out.
