Purchase Order — History

For a given line item, it would be nice to be able to see how the item has been purchased in the past. We do this with a popup window for the highlighted line:

The popup will list all the receiving documents that contain the item. The list is sorted by receive date beginning with the most recent receipt.

On the popup, you can jump  to the Receiving Document. (Press J on the highlighted line).

The History popup is also available from the U/Cost field (accessed by ctrl-W, right-click, or pressing H)

Jump

Many of the records are related to one another. A Sales Order produces Shipping Orders, which produces Accounts Receivable Invoices. On the Sales Order there are line items which draw stock from Inventory, produce Make Orders, items from Purchase Orders.

Jump is the means of getting from one of these references to the other. It is our means of “drilling down” from one piece of data to another.

The programs remember the path that you travel while you are jumping from one record to the next. You can always go back the same way that you came.

So, let’s look at an example starting with a Sales Order:

00 RAG 7-28-2012

Field Search — popup window

When using the search option (adding a ? (question mark) to the text of a field), the behavior was to display the resulting first closest match in the field. You could then use the Page Up and Page Down keys to cycle through the records that matched.

We have changed that to automatically open the popup window displaying all the matching records in the list. An example is the main A/R Transaction list window:

NEW-017

Entering House? and pressing the Enter key will open the popup list with all the Customers containing House in the name.
