S/O, A/R, A/P, W/O, J/C, T/C all have history files to archive closed documents/transactions.
Why not do the same for Purchase Order so we don't have to sort through multiple years of data in the Open PO Files.

The is another post regarding pulling complete POs from a history file that could be merged. PO History has been asked for ever since we got SO History.
An excellent request. Many users set their PO retention limit to 999 as a workaround. Having a history file would eliminate this plus give purchasing the ability to create new PO's from history. This is one enhancement that EVERYONE using PO's would benefit from. Truly value added!!!!
I would love to see this feature also. It would be really helpful if you could view the complete description for special items and not just the 1st 30 characters as it is now in inquiry.
Count me in. We are highly dependant on our purchasing department and have had to turn the retention all the way up in order to keep full history. Unfortunately the lookup window is getting slow.
It baffles me as to what determines whether our suggestions/requests get implemented or not. This request is over 2 years old and has 2 posts (mine & Clark's) with over 300 votes. Yet there is no comment from Sage on either one. You would think this would have been a top priority since all other main modules have this function.
I agree. This is a must have for us as well. Our company is constantly on the hunt for purchase order numbers that coincide with particular sales orders. I currently have to have a 3rd party solution (scan and archive) to acheive this. Sage needs to add this as a "drill down" type feature to keep the actual PO number available for viewing and seeing the line items as it's attached to an order.
Sage Developers, do you guys ever read these requests ??
This is a huge issue for us when servicing sold projects. In order to get manufacturer assistance, we have to provide the original PO number and to verify the length of the warranty from the vendor. With the current system and design, the POs that are a couple to 5 years old are gone and the service guys have to pull paper copies to get the information. It consumes far too much time.
