 ===== Ordering from a Supplier Hub site =====
-You order from a supplier hub site by sending them a purchase order. You can create the purchase order either manually or using mSupply's "calculate it for me" functionality. You can see full details about that on the [[purchasing:ordering_from_suppliers|]] page.
+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.
-When manually creating a purchase order, if the supplier you choose is a supplier hub site then it automatically becomes an order that is handled through the Supplier hub.
+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:
-When creating a calculated order, you tell mSupply to use a Supplier Hub supplier - click on the //Calculated// icon on the //Suppliers// tab of the Navigator then select the //Order from a hub supplier// option in the top drop down list:
+{{ :supplier_hub:hub_calc_order.png?400 |}}
-{{ :supplier_hub:supplier_hub_5.png?800 }}
+This will make a **Supplier** text field appear:
-  * Click ‘Calculated’ on the Supplier tab to create a new calculated purchase order.
-  * Choose ‘Order from a hub supplier’ in the drop down list.
+{{ :supplier_hub:supplier_hub_6.png?400 }}
-  * This will then allow you to search from the supplier hub suppliers
+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).
-  * Once chosen, it will create a purchase order for the items in the Supplier Hub Catalog for that supplier (See Supplier Hub Config - Setting up Catalogs for how these catalogs are defined).
-  * The purchase order must be confirmed for the order to be sent to the supplier hub.

+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.
