Does anyone know if this functionality has been improved?
This is an operational situation we see, both planned an unplanned, where we want to be able to link demand from an existing Service Order to an existing Purchase Order.
This is in order to account for changes/mistakes after the original purchase order was created from the demand and also we need to be able to take advantage of purchase requirements for vendors such as minimum order qty, total order amount, free shipping, etc.
Our purchasing is not centralized and many people do their own purchasing as needed.
There should be a way to link to demand from transactions that haven’t been purchased yet to existing purchase orders.
One way would be to identify an Existing Purchase Order on the Create Purchase Orders screen before the processing happens.
Another option is to have the ability to set the PO Detail Line Line Type to Goods for SO or Goods for FS and be able to lookup and set the Sales Order or Service Order detail line.
Another is to have a button that would allow for Linking an Open Line Detail from an SO or FS Order and select an Open PO from the Vendor that would create the PO Detail Line the same way that the “Create Purchase Orders” function does.
