While there is no automatic way to do this in Vantage, we have accomplished
this "outside" the system. Basically, we have created a VBForm field in the
PO that the purchasing agent manually puts in the "linked" sales order
number. We then created a Progress program that runs from the sales order
tracker (a button on a VBForm) and displays purchase order costs for that SO
on the screen.
You can also use this field to tie the two together for various reporting
requirements.

Subject: [Vantage] 5.0 - Purchasing question
Hi, all!
Got a situation....looking for suggestions.
We have a sales order for a repair of a product. We sent the item out for
repair (subcontract). No job was cut internally since we were not doing any
production related to this order in-house.
Is there a way to link a Purchase Order to a Sales Order? (Like linking a
job to a Sales Order?)
I would like to capture the costs related to the Purchase Order when we do
the invoicing of the Sales Order.
Thanks for any help/suggestions.
