Collective PO 2 / 1	Sales order 2 / 1	Coffee	300 pieces	200 pieces	Customer 2	Central DC

For item 1 of collective purchase order 1:

The first two lines in the table refer to item 1 in collective purchase order 1. This item combines the orders for yogurt from stores 1 and 2, who each ordered 150 pieces. The distribution center therefore orders a total quantity of yogurt of 300 pieces from the vendor.
