is there no connection between Sales and Purchase Orders?
If we take a customers' order for an item of inventory that we have to get in for them.............. then place a purchase order to a vendor for that inventory item is there any connection that I should make between both these transactions.
Typical questions asked by the customer are "when will my goods be in stock" we need to look up the relevant purchase order(s) and advise them that say 3 items will be in next Wednesday and the further 5 items will be on the Friday after.
Looking at things the other way round - if you look at a purchase order you should see which existing sales orders that will commit inventory to when it is delivered in, and a balanceing figure that will just go into stock on the warehouse shelves.
