In September 2013, we created a saved transaction search with the following criteria:

Type> is Purchase Order

Quantity> is not empty

Item > Vendor is Preferred: is true

Status> is any of Purchase Order:Pending Receipt, Purchase Order:Pending Billing/Partially Received, Purchase Order:Partially Received

Created From : Payment Event Hold Reason> is not Authorization decline

Name> is Company XYZ

This search is configured to send an email when purchase orders for this particular vendor are created. Specific recipients are me and the vendor. Most of the items for this vendor are configured as drop-ship, so that when a Sales Order is created, whether online through the web site or manually in NS, a PO is automatically created.
