add lines to PO's by Supplier Reorder number.

IN RMS, the Purchase Orders need to be able to search by the Supplier's
Reorder numbers.

If you are looking through a vendor's catalog, and see something you want,
the Vendor's reorder number is going to be what is listed. If you try to
type in that number, the PO doesn't know what you want. But that is exactly
why you go through the trouble of adding the Supplier and supplier's reorder
number to an item's detail.

From the Purchase Order screen, my clients want to be able to enter the
reorder number OR get to a screen that will show just the suppliers inventory
list and be able to sort by reorder number on that screen to be able to grab
the right item onto the PO.

thanks,

Greg,
I checked out your link.
how does your product help me add an item to the Purchase Order when all I
have easily on hand is the Supplier Reorder Number?
ILC 1000,
supplier Fabrikam
SRN Fab1

Client is looking at their catalog, or a Promotional pricing list, and wants
to simply add FAB1 to the PO. or to easily search (without 4-6 clicks) the
items that are known to come from that supplier.

When you install AutoGen all current SRNs on file are added as Aliases.
Enter Fab1 (the SRN) into the PO to order that item (no lookup required).
If other items on the PO are missing SRNs or need them corrected, edit the
SRN on the PO and it will be updated to the Supplier tab and Alias tables
automatically.
If you have never carried the item from the assigned supplier before,
Supplier+SRN and Alias are added to Item Properties automatically so you can
use the SRN next time.
During new item adds the SRNs are automatically copied to Alias.

If you enable all the features in AutoGen the following actions can occur
during a new item add.
1) Autogenerated ILC is created based on the format defined (sequential
number or categorized code with dept, category, or supplier ID prefix +
sequential number).
2) Any SRNs entered on the Supplier tab are automatically copied to Alias.
3) A default barcode format is assigned automatically (we suggest 128A or
128B).
4) If AutoGen is installed on an HQ database the sales tax for each store
location is assigned automatically.
