Purchase orders

I have just recently noticed that if I have parts on the WIP screen it doesn't add them to the PO at the end of the day when I submit a PO to our warehouse. Please help me.

Need more information to better advise you; in the meantime here's a few thoughts.

It sounds like you're creating an end of day PO by using the Restock From Inventory method with a selected vendor or Pick List for All Orders ?

If the expectation is for parts to appear on your end of day PO, the following must be true:

1. The RO parts need to have a COMMITTED (marked as approved and printed) status, without sufficient QOH to fulfill the need from inventory

Estimate or RO parts not committed would not be picked up by the PO process.

2. The Inventory parts relieved by converting to Invoice and becoming CONFIRMED must have stocking levels and reorder points set and these items are below stocking level.

If an Inventory part is used in the shop with a stock level of 6 and reorder is 3 and you still have 5 on the shelf, nothing gets ordered.

We have used your this system since April of 2007. We haven't changed the way we do things. Here is what we do. We create a WIP invoice for customers that are picking up parts and then once a month before statements print the invoices. This month we noticed that evening our PO was very large. Anyways I'm trying to figure out what has changed. I thought maybe in a recent update that there were some changes to this function.
