Good afternoon,
I wanted to reach out and see if I can get a feel for how you are all compiling your purchase orders...specifically larger orders that are set up as a contract type order with supply and service (3rd party fabrication)? In our previous system(s) (Sage 50 & QB) I would simply create blank value lines for additional information such as attachments, included items, schedule, etc while the main (or first) line would be a brief summary of the activity. The last lines of the PO would be for milestone/progress payments and would include the values to receive against...this was done this way in the old systems so that accounting could receive the payments as per the milestones. Line text, I find to be quite unprofessional looking; perhaps its just not set up properly on our PO form...the text starts outside the boundary/body of the PO and if I try and indent so it aligns better it either doesn't move or it duplicates lines.
I know there is a progress payment option under project management, is there a way at the purchase order level to include these?
As always, thanks in advance!
