Hi Tom
Yep, turned on purchase ordering in accounts management,
and yes under stand PO (purchase order placed on your supplier)
and PI (purchase invoice received from your supplier after goods received) are different but should tie up if pricing was right and PO’s can be converted to PI’s to save time entering PI’s.
Totally agree with you about part no being unique etc.
The purchase order side needs a lot more thought from the developers.
My suggestion above was only my way of making it work, but defiantly not ideal.
