Thanks for your response Janusz.

1. Great! It works, but firstly, there is nothing on the screen that says you can do this (How was I supposed to know?) and secondly, hitting 'F4' also drops down my URL box (In IE7) to view websites I've visited, so the page is partially obscurred by this. QUite annoying really.

2. Let me be a little bit more descriptive. In my structure, there are different departments and they each have a yearly budget. The idea behind this is simply that, as you stated, the PO can be tagged for a department and the total expense (ie all the PO of that department) can be viewed at a later stage for reporting, etc...

3. For my organisation, we don't need to be this thorough. We also order many things from many suppliers so this would be too time consuming for us. It's fantastic though!

4. Thats OK. I'm sure I'll figure it out. Imagine this scenario though: I'm shopping on a website and it displays its prices without tax. I would like, at the end of filling in the PO for the system to tell me how much tax I'm paying and my subtotal with tax.

In my previous workplace we had a setup like the one below:

5. Just simply a signature image.

6. I don't know if that's what I'm after so I will check it out. To be more specific on my part though, what I meant was, according to point 2, after a PO has been raised, I would like to track how much a particular department has spent. So if department 'a' raised 2 POs, one for £300 and one for £1200 I would like some way of telling that they have spent £1500.

Thanks again for your help so far. I hope you understand a little bit more of what I'm trying to do.

I've downloaded FA and theres a few tweaks I'd like to make to the way that purchase orders work. I'm wondering if anyone can steer me in the right direction. I'll be hoping to complete the changes this week-end.

1. On the purchase order page, where supplier is; I would like to add a suplier and load the details without even leaving the page. I know I'll need ajax to do this.

2. I would like to create a new drop down field called 'Department' which will select which department account the PO should be made from.

3. I don't know why, but at the moment, for Item Description there is a drop down field. I don't see the purpose in this, but what I would like to do is create a textbox where the user can type in the description of the item.

4. I would like to ability for a user to say no tax should be applied to this item, or if there should be tax. ie (in the UK, 15% VAT) - Possibly a drop down box.

5. I would like to slightly edit and add to the PDF render an authorisation signature so that orders can be signed off.

6. Regarding point 2 above (This may or may not come under the PO Section), I would like to see how much all the departments have spent.

Thanks for any ideas and help you can provide. I really appreciate it!
