---------------------------------
Jacopo,
Thanks for diving in a pointing Scott at the appropriate screens.
David,
I completely agree that providing more intelligence in the PO creation process
would be very helpful, especially for larger businesses. I can just about cope
with the amount of manual intervention required, but in the not too distant
future I can see the need for some of the rules you suggest.
The idea of consolidating POs (or SOs, I guess) came mainly because I end up
having multiple small POs for some of my suppliers. However, I also run into
the opposite problem. For my larger suppliers, I will often have a 100 or more
requirements built up. Since the "Approved Requirements" screen paginates the
requirements, I'll end up generating multiple orders for the same (large)
supplier, simply because the application operates a page at a time. This annoys
my suppliers a bit.
I guess the obvious thing to do is to go in and reconfigure the pagination so
it doesn't (paginate), but if we had the ability to add items to existing POs
then you could still use the pagination mechanism and build up the PO
page-by-page (quite handy if your working through your POs during less busy
times of the day).

> During the course of processing purchase orders (usual over several days),
> two or more orders for the same supplier might be created. It would be
> extremely useful to be able to consolidate these orders into a single order.
> The typical scenario here is that POs are generated from Requirements, which
> are often reviewed and approved on a daily basis. Sometimes the size of the
> generated order might be too small to send to the supplier, so you need to
> wait for a day or two to accumulate more items.
