When I select parts that share the same vendor but have different part numbers, what’s the best way to send these to Purchasing without combining them under a single purchase order number?
Some of our vendors require only one part per purchase order. How can we accommodate that in the system?
The easiest is to only click buy, and generate one at a time (not great for the user I know, but no customization)
Outside of that, it’s really hard because the generate PO’s is a black box that you can’t really modify. We needed custom stuff, so I had to code the entire process myself just so I could add our little parts. Then I replaced the systems “Generate POs” button with my own. It was a TON of work.
In some ways it’s cumbersome…but does give you ultimate control over your PO construction. We have to pick-and-choose here because of dropship PO volume…sort by sales order number, select each line from the sales order, click buy…and then do the next one.
