Purchase a custom Part

Hi Dave,
Purchase direct to a SO is impossible in Vantage 8 (out of the box). The
only way to do so is to create a Job with just 1 mtl-line, containing a
Purchase-direct-art. This is as you wrote, but it is a big hassle to do
so. In Epicor 9 there is new functionality so you can create a PO from
the SO. It is great because receiving the part will automatically put in
on the customer-shipping!
For version 8 there is a BPM combined with Service-connect doing almost
the same as it will be standard in Epicor9.
I hope this is sufficient info so far,

We entered a line on a Sales Order and entered a custom part number,
one that is not in our part master. We can see the part when we run
the Time Phased inquiry, however, it does not appear on the Time
Phased report.
It appears the only way you can get to "Purchase Direct" is through a
Job. This part should be a Purchase Direct part for a Sales Order. It
also doesn't look like you can link a SO line to a Purchase order. Is
anyone doing this?
I would think there must be a method to purchase a custom SO line
through a Purchase Order but I do not see it. We do not have the
Buyers Workbench which is where it looks like it might be possible.
This is the first time we have come across this. We have run Purchase
Direct parts from Jobs through the system.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Dave
