Enhancements for back to back orders (Creating POs from SOs)

Within Amend SOP > Save and Generate PO(s) - a notification may be flashed on screen but the Amend Order form closes and the notification can't be read

There is no indication that the process generates orders - it doesn't do anything if the back-to-back order requirements are currently included on the generated (not confirmed) PO list

There is no indication if the process finds that orders have already been created

It would be better if the process completed with a dialog box confirming what has or hasn't been done

There is no Linked Purchase Order button as there is when viewing an order line

The only indication in Amend Order is when using Show Quantities - there is a column for POP Order with a value of Yes (not the PO)

Its a bit annoying to advise the end user to use View Order > view order line to see if an PO has been created and then if not, for them to have to use Amend Order to generate the POs


When in POP > Generate Orders > Update List it would be helpful to have an option "Exclude Stock Demands" - i.e. to enable the generation of POs for back-to-back orders only

It would also be helpful if Update List had an option to Replace List instead

Idea Benefit More user friendly / more flexibiity
How do you solve for this problem today? I had to log a Sage call to find out why my POs where not being generated!
