I would like to request a user setting where the user can choose whether to use quantity driven purchase orders (currently how the system works) or lump sum cost purchase orders(how we would like to use the system). We would like the option of entering a lump sum of $250,000 as a purchase order without regard to how many invoices are received rather than having to enter a quantity of 1 times a price of $250,000. In the current scenario we end up getting invoiced multiple times and it messes up our committed cost report. I know their is a workaround of putting the lump sum as the quantity at a price of $1 but this also requires the invoice to be entered the same "reverse" way and there are too many opportunities for errors. I understand why it is set up the way it is and it probably works great for estimators and people who do takeoffs. I am not looking or asking to change the way they currently handle their po's, i would just ask for a choice of doing it another way and i am sure there are others in our same boat.

Thanks for the consideration

  • This is a great suggestion, it would add a little more flexibility to the P.O. system.
