Hi there!

I am working on an integration with ShipHero where the operation will need to create purchase orders and sales orders with multiple lines for the same SKU. Specific use cases are below.

- Inbound orders can have multiple lines for the same SKU due to varying lot numbers (this will be mapped to the notes field for each line)
- Outbound “shipments” can have multiple lines for the same SKU due to different order numbers. The customer will consolidate all open orders for a single customer in their ERP and send an order file to ShipHero, which can have multiple order lines for the same SKU.

I am running into an issue while trying to create POs (SOs too) where the same SKU is repeated across more than one line. The PO is created in ShipHero, but only a single line containing the SKU is created. Please see the mutation below.

mutation {  
purchase\_order\_create(  
data: {  
po\_date: “2020-01-01”  
po\_number: “TestPOExample6”  
subtotal: “230.00”  
tax: “2.30”  
shipping\_price: “0.00”  
total\_price: “230.00”  
warehouse\_id: “\<WAREHOUSE\_ID\>”  
line\_items: [  
{  
sku: “3673”

}  
}  
}  
}  
}  
}

Has anyone run into this issue before?

Thanks!
