It would:

(i) Allow to use MyAssistant and Office Connector for Purchasing purposes;

(ii) Integrate better and get rid of discrepancies like the ones that occur between PO/AP and PO/JC (see other posts regarding specific discrepancies).

Some of these discrepancies are:

- Using miscellaneous deductions in an AP vendor, which we use for tax retention purposes, the invoice that gets sent from PO to AP, does not recognize the deductions, and they have to be put manually line by line. THIS IS KILLING US AND WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT RESOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

-Issues arise also with the decimal points, as PO uses 4 and AP 2. Same thing happens in JC.

-Not all fields in JC Commitment match the ones from PO. For example, we use PO line notes to include more details in terms of the scope of work of a certain item, especially for subcontracts, where you can have the same item, but for a different scope/detail in the same subcontract PO. SO now, we wanted to build a Payment Application Report with Office Connector that can be sent to field personnel, so they can update quantities on the subcontract execution, and we find out that the the PO line notes do not get sent to JC Commitment. This could be done to Item Scope of Work.

A better way would be to allow the user to specify which field in PO matches which field in JC Commitment.
