Automating Material Receipt, Invoice from Purchase Order

There are times when you want a Purchase Order to automatically create a Material Receipt and/or and Vendor Invoice. iDempiere can do this in the Sales Order window out of the box by simply changing the Sales Order window => Target Document Type field. You can add this same ability (automate MR or VI) to the Purchase Order window without modifying code. The Purchase Order window has access to the same document automation tools that a Sales Order window does. For example, the Sales Order window has access to Credit Order, Warehouse Order, etc.... If you create copies of the "Purchase Order" Document Type and set the SO Sub Type field according to the desired behavior, the Purchase Order window will demonstrate the same behavior as the Sales Order window. Said another way, if you create all the same Document Types for Purchase Order (as exist for Sales Order), you will get all the same abilities in the Purchase Order window.
