Searching PO against a Job number?

Why cant i search a Purchase Order that has been allocated to a Job?

 

If i do a repeat Job 2 years down the track, i need to be able to see who, what, & where i purchased materials off.

 

Why is there no column to search a Job number when viewing Purchase Orders??? Is there a setting somehwere?

  • Hi Luke_Rigg 

     

    Jobs are assigned to transactional lines, not invoices/purchases as a whole. Windows like the Invoices/Bills or Find transactions, typically look at the transaction as a whole not the individual line components therefore you wouldn't be able to search by job for those windows.

      we would like this option as well...in MYOB premier we used to be able to allocate a purchase to a job.....not in essentials sadly :manfrustrated:

        The thing is, you CAN allocate a purchase to a job number, but you cant search the purchase orders allocated job number! Thats nuts! You have to be able see later on down the track who and what you purchsed from for that particular job!

      Thats crazy. I would have thought because you can add the Job number in the PO, it would be searchable?

       

      Really something MYOB should look into. Thats a REALLY important thing for traceability.

       

      I'll give PO's a miss. Thanks anyway.
