I would love to see the item number displayed in the stock alert, not just the item name. We have a lot of items with the same name but different item numbers so this is very useful to us.
When generating a PO from the To Do List - Stock Alert in AR19.7, the items fill the PO in the following order:
1, the item that you initiated the PO with by hitting the drill-down arrow
2, all other items on the Stock Alert list that you buy from that supplier in alphabetical order.
I don't know if this is the same in AR2012 - I'll let you know when I can get the To Do List to work!
I would prefer to see the items populate the PO in supplier's part number order. It would reduce errors when someone is reading and entering the data from the PO at the supplier's end.
We have 3500+ items and around 100 suppliers.
The inability of AR2013 to create a multiple item PO from the Stock Alert list (as is standard with AR19.9 and previous versions) is the major roadblock for me in switching to AR2013 from AR19.9.
Allowing the user to change the order of items listed (by my part number, supplier's part number or description) on the PO would also be very nice.
Please make it happen.
