this is scheduled to be included in v4.4 Product Update 1, due out in March 2010
Yes!!!!!
In Erik K's comment, to what does the "this" refer?
In a future 4.40 update, the duplicate PO check in sales order that currently checks open orders will also check history. The "authorized purchase control" used to be an extended solution but could now be accomplished using the advanced scripting in 4.40. The backorder line items functionality can be turned back on with a fix.
Your ability to thwart sending duplicate customer orders and enforce your business rules is enhanced in 4.4 Product Update 1. In addition to your current ability to check for duplicate Customer PO numbers in Sales Order and Accounts Receivable Entry files, you’ll also be able to automatically check in the Open Sales Order, and Open Sales Order Invoices. If you are retaining history, Product Update 1 also checks for duplicate PO numbers in Accounts Receivable History files.
When a duplicate Customer PO Number is detected, you’ll be able to view them in an Inquiry screen window, sort the information, drill down into more details, and print the information. Because these features are implemented using Business Objects, the rules you establish will be enforced when using Visual Integrator and any third party add-ons that use the Bus Object interface.
