Is there a way to consolidate orders in OE to a single invoice?

I think that would allow us reduce the paper shuffle and this is actually a request our customers have mentioned to us they would like.

Thanks!

Hi Jim,

Sorry, no. You can add lines to an existing order, rather than creating a new order.

If I combined orders onto a single invoice, how would I deal with field values that are different in the two orders (like PO number and/or salesperson)?

Would it be useful to be able to combine two orders? If so, what would be the status of the two original orders?

Sometimes what sounds simple is more complex than it seems!

Thanks Andrew. I didn't think it could since I couldn't find any references at all in the manual. (which I have almost memorized by now)

Sales commission are tracked by customer not orders and PO numbers are assigned with blanket POs by the customer base (if they use them at all). So their are usually many orders that have the exact same PO number.

I just need to keep in mind that I am using the OE program slightly different that what it is usually used for (selling services and not inventory per se) and not everything will match up to my needs perfectly all the time.

I appreciate the answer which means I will stop looking at it from that point of view and solve things differently. Maybe I can consolidate the orders from my third party system prior to being imported into OE.

Thanks again.
