Topic: Purchase order system not working correctly?

I've been playing around with the PO system, but there are a few things that aren't working. They are:

On the PO PDF it does / doesn't display the following:
- Under my company logo it state N/A
- Sales Person is blank
- Dude Date is blank
- It doesn't display the item code

On the e-mail my supplier receives it states:
Attached you will find Purchase Order No. 1 - there is a double space between find and Purchase

Kindest regards

Administrator
(company name)
N/A
(email address)

Shouldn't the last parts be the info of the person who sent the PO?

FA uses the same design for all the documents. Some of the fields are not used for special documents like PO.

Re: Purchase order system not working correctly?

That's...sort of strange. Will that be changed in future releases?

What about the email that's sent along with the PO?

EDIT: Is there no way to display a products item code on the PO?

Re: Purchase order system not working correctly?

not sure if this will help, but to have the Item Code on the PO you will have to change the following lines on the PO report

replace the following lines on rep209.php (lines 143/144)

            //$rep->TextCol(0, 1,    $myrow2['item_code'], -2);
            $rep->TextCol(0, 2,    $myrow2['description'], -2);

with

            $rep->TextCol(0, 1,    $myrow2['item_code'], -2);
            $rep->TextCol(1, 2,    $myrow2['description'], -2);

I didn't understand why line 143 actually was commented out.

Re: Purchase order system not working correctly?

In default configuration the item codes are not printed on PO for obvious reason: in most situations suppllier does not know internal item codes used by cooperating companies, so the codes printed here could only lead to misunderstanding. If you prefer to use the same codes as your supplier, you can set $show_po_item_codes=true in your config.php file.
