Hey,
At an auto dealership we're running 2005 Pro. We special order lots of
parts. We always use the purchase orders, and assign a specific part
number to anything we order. When the order comes in, you click
"receive items", and after you fill in which vendor it pops up with the
purchase orders to choose from. You select your purchase order, and
just delete the lines that didn't come in. From there you make an
invoice or sales receipt. Just fill out the name, and click the
"time/costs" button. You select the things that were special ordered
for that customer, and they transfer right on to the invoice
automatically.
Does that make any sense? What version are you running?
