Hi Suz,

With the current releases of Purchase Orders 9.3A and OrderEntry 9.3A, when I create a new purchase order and retrieve the items from an existing OrderEntry sales order, the 'OE Customer number' and 'OE Customer name' fields are populated with customer information from the OE order. Then this information is visible in any place in Adagio where the Purchase Orders details are visible, which includes the Item Inquiries with Sales and Costs that you mentioned.

So it is the PurchaseOrders module that creates these records, available for inquiry in other places such as IC.

It was confirmed in the first reply that it depends on how the purchase orders were created from OE sales orders as to whether the customer number and name are populated or not. How do you create purchase orders from OE orders, one at a time by selecting an OE sales order within a new PO, or by using the Auto Generate POs from OrderEntry? If you auto generate, that is the reason the customer information is not there for inquiry in other places.

For your other question, if you want to determine which open sales orders exist for a given item, and the customers for those orders, then in the OrderEntry 9.3A release there is a new inquiry within the order entry process, on the Edit Detail screen, to look up both open sales orders or open purchase orders. The sales order lookup includes the customer number.

Currently this inquiry is only available when editing an OE sales order detail. If you want this available more generally, this sort of inquiry would be relatively easy to create using Adagio GridView and listing OE order details with item number, order number and customer number.
