Do you want me to delete this one and create a couple posts. I think I need to "re-title" and also divide up what I'm thinking while condensing and keeping it factual, breif and to the point so that it's easier to disseminate to the community for up votes as well as disect into more defined and manageable project tasks and goals to get kicked regarding the UI and the functionality. I have some idea's that will go far I beleive for the Job Information page that I think would be benefical to alot of people while creating a better seemless work flow from entering a job to ultimately invoicing as well as aiding all the physical functions of employee's work were I know we are sumplementing with purchased stationery and stuff when it can nearly mostly be printed all from MYOB.
A packing slip is different to a delivery docket and if there were a few tweaks to what information can be entered into the job information page it wouldn't be hard to have the invoice self propagate directly from the job information page and or include all completed items of a "sub job of" linked card or not depending on if it's already been invoiced. Kinda like part order shipping when the items aren't all in at once or something like that. I'm pretty sure though that it might involve alot more back end work and testing before these changes can be rolled into an update if at all what I'm thinking can be implemented.
Perhaps dusting off my old database and access hat over the christmas break might proove useful to create a UI myself that works side by side. Use MYOB for the accounting, invoicing and payroll stuff and then access for the job flow. Because the way we use MYOB we don't have a need for inventory or anything like that as it's all labour based services with only job specific materials purchased and a small collection of assorted staple consumables. None of which require the warehousing and stocktaking functions that MYOB has.
I should probably stop thinking and get back to work lol
