Getting back into the partial PO project. Here is a small list of things that still need to be done for that project.

- Open up the external_alternate_id field for all of the 12 main player groups. They, the database tables, already have that field, it is just hidden and not being used right now.

- In-store credits (customers and invoices) - new special account option

- Vendor specific or category specific PO line searches - add lines in bulk - somewhat of the reverse shopping cart for PO's - the normal shopping cart is for invoices and quotes.

- Full visibility - track total request quantities, total live quantities, and total still on backorder quantities.

After doing some review, I spent some time looking at what it might take to help add bulk po line items. Created a new branch to work on some of the new functionality. Started working on a new page for bulk adding PO line items. Took the original code from the parts homepage and then worked on tweaking it out a bit. The page will allow for filtering parts and items by vendor, by category, by item, by description, by location, etc. That should really help speed things up.
