A very common request I get is to efficiently pull up expected PO receipt date(s) for an item, while entering a sales order in OrderEntry (and while on the phone with a customer).

It is possible to click on the Item button while entering the item detail, then click on the PurchaseOrders tab, but the resulting screen displays open PO's mixed in with other records and is not sorted in a useful order.

What we need is what is available in PurchaseOrders when entering an item. There is an "i" button to the right of the item number, which when clicked, offers exactly what I'm asking for (and more - you can also pull up other open sales orders for the item).

Another possibility, although not as nice, would be for the PurchaseOrders tab mentioned above to have a filter on the document type, and the ability to sort by Expected Date. Right now, you can put the document type on the grid, but it displays as a number, and the average user will not know that a 1 is a purchase order, etc.

Thanks

Steve

Hi Steve,

Indeed there are many nice features in Purchase Orders that would lend themselves to OrderEntry. Thanks for the comments and I will forward them along.

Hello Steve,

The Item Information button has been added in Adagio OrderEntry 9.3A (2017.12.04).
