I have recently been on the phone to tech support about this problem and they tell me there is no facility to do what I want to do and indicated that I should submit my idea.
The issues is to do with inventory management and ordering of stock.
Currently I do not maintain stock of items that I sell ie. I only order items from my supplier when a customer orders them from me.
All of my inventory items come from the same supplier.
My process is as follows:
- Customer orders items
- Sales Order created on MYOB
- Client pays for order in advance
- Order converted to purchase order from supplier
- PO issued to supplier
- Items and invoice from supplier arrive
- PO coverted to bill (purchase)
- Items checked off as arrived (or on back order)
- Bill from supplier paid
- Customer orders converted to invoices and marked off as paid
- Items delivered to customer.
The problem arises when I have several different customers who order different items at the same time. In the most recent example I have five different customers who ordered 10 different items from me. All of the ordered items come from the same supplier. Thus I created 5 different customer orders and converted them for 5 different PO from the supplier.
Here is where the new feature could be implemented. As these 5 PO are all for the same supplier it would be great to merge purchase orders by supplier so I can have ONE PO on the system for the one supplier. Thuse when the invoice comes in with the items from the supplier, I can match it to the one PO instead of having to work out to which POs it applies.
At the moment I have to work around this by manually creating a NEW PO for my supplier, enter all of the items from the individual POs and then delete the individual POs - this is doubling up work and taking a very long time to do
Hope that is clear. If not please contact me for more details
