+===== Ordering from a Supplier Hub site =====
+You order from a supplier hub site by sending them a calculated purchase order. You cannot create a purchase order manually for a Supplier Hub supplier. For full details about creating calculated purchase orders, please see the [[purchasing:ordering_from_suppliers|]] page.
+Creating a calculated order for a Supplier Hub supplier has a small difference from the process described on the page given above. After clicking on the //Calculated// icon on the //Suppliers// tab of the Navigator, select the //Order from a hub supplier// option in the top drop down list:
+{{ :supplier_hub:hub_calc_order.png?400 |}}
+This will make a **Supplier** text field appear:
+{{ :supplier_hub:supplier_hub_6.png?400 }}
+Type the first few characters of the supplier's name or code in the field and press the //Tab// key on the keyboard to select the correct one from a list of those which start with what you typed (if there is only one, it will be selected and entered for you).
+When you click the **OK** button, the order will be calculated for all the items in the supplier's catalogue (i.e. master list - see the //Setting up Catalogues// section on the [[supplier_hub:configure#setting_up_catalogues|12.01. Configuring the Supplier Hub]] page.
+When you confirm the order it will be sent through the Supplier Hub to the supplier's mSupply instance as a customer requisition.

+  * **Once created, you cannot change the supplier on a Supplier Hub purchase order.**
+  * **If you create a purchase order for a non-Supplier Hub supplier then you cannot change it to be a Supplier Hub supplier.**
