You can make a PO from a sales order!

Do you need to enter the PO until after that point?

Keep the sales order open and perhaps have a check process at the end of 
the week that you match them all off?

What I do for something similar is do a "stock check" from time to time 
which should net off at zero.  This shows that I have all my purchase 
and sales invoices matched off for these just in time items. 

When it mismatches I can use the serial number field to match sales with 
purchases.  However, a custom query in your case could help match PO /SO 
numbers and group them and find the one where they don't net to zero for 
a given job...?

Yep that would work.  Just to an occasional search on that "vendor" and 
make sure they don't have any outstanding orders and that can help check 
you enter them all
