Notes:
PO’s and tacking order status continued:
- Do we need the option to be able to duplicate PO’s and then split them in order for this order status to work? If yes, then let’s do it, if not then let’s skip it for now.
- What are some of the possible PO order status options?
o N/A – Blank (default) --- N/A - Default
o Need to Order --- Need
o On Order --- Ordered
o Received --- Received
o Split/Duplicated (?)
o Chain
o Done
- Need a PO reference field or PO chain field. (flex grid)
- Need an invoice reference field on invoice chain field. (flex grid)
- Need a printable page (& save as pdf) with a white background.
- Need a link to show any chain references (flex grid)
- Need to be able to duplicate (chain)/split both invoices & PO’s.
- Need to show a report that shows qty on hand, qty on order, qty promised, what do I have where?
- When showing chains (PO or invoice) show all of the details. Like subs on an expense/receipt.
- Maybe allow quotes to be duplicated and/or split more than once. Another option is to create an invoice request.
- What about being able to push an invoice back into a quote or master (within a chain) status. That way you could have an original intact without effecting inventory, P&L, A/R’s, taxes, etc. Or set the invoice type back to quote and run off of the request quantities.
Random Brainstorming: (transferred to a different page)
- Good consulting and education may be more important than good programming!
- What if any object or sub object could be pointed into play or told how to show up for roll call. What if that could be flexible on a per item or sub item basis. Basically, set a standard and default to that. If special, have the tools and permissions in place to let things play where ever you want in the final game or layout.
- To take this “any object to any place” methodology even further… what if this becomes the watcher or watchers). This could be 1-many on dates and status. The roll call then knows where to show up and how and when to play into the mix. Basically, a default roll call is either assigned or presumed (keep the footprint small or in line). Then if needed, only on special cases, allow for 1-many to happen as “any object to any place”. At that level you’re playing with where and how things show up to play. Full control and full flexibility. Maybe only add a “custom” mapping or roll call if needed… otherwise let it flow naturally.
- The system would need to track exactly what was happening and be able to show effectually and historically what was, is and will be where and at what time frame or in what window. Funny how it comes back to time.
- Maybe time is the stable element and we organize events and objects inside of the time windows.
- Space??? Time??? TimeSpace??? Virtual time travel (just with the application and the data that exists). You can only pull from what is entered and/or recorded. Without getting too deep… the element of space is how you organize items and objects into logical pieces.
- Catch and hold all of the pieces and then be able to show them back again. How and where and when you show them back is how you use your space.
