MFG "Did You Know" Work Order Interactive Attachment Works For Outside Operation Purchase Orders?

 This is one of the best enhancments in my mind for A91 and above. You no longer need to run the batch attach P31410 Work Order Processing to create a purchase order for an outside operation item. You can now Interactively attach! From the work order header, press F8 and then F10 twice. Reinquire back on your routing and open the fold. If your set up is correct, a purchase order number will display.

The set up is the same as it is for the P31410 where the work center must be definined as an outside operation, Vendor number must be entered on the routing along with D1 etc., for the cost type, Special Handling code in UDC 30/CA must be populated with a 1 in all DX cost types, and stocking type and line type must be an X etc. But, you don't need to run the batch program to create purchase orders any longer.
