Purchase best practice

Epicor ERP 10
1

Hi All,
Being new to Epicor I have a question regarding purchasing if this is the best way to go.
1)Create parts and mark by direct
2)Add parts to job
3)Run Process MRP
4) Run Purchase order suggestion
5)Run purchase order entry

Is there any way to have the item purchase automatically 1 click
Is there anyway to see what was purchased to the job and what is outstanding

Thanks

@Jamie-Lill Purchase directs go directly to wip when received so you will then have to deal with any materials bought in lot sizes not needed on the job. Some firms also do not like having wip that will not be leaving soon.

Run MRP doesn’t serve a function if you are going to make the job and then run PO suggestions, but you need to schedule the job after adding parts so they have a material date for the PO generation.

You can generate from the buyers workbench and Mass print POs, but not necessarily a one click that I am aware of out of the box.
