I put this in the Tips because I am not so sure this is a program issue as much as it is a learning (for me) question.

When I receive parts, I go to the PO box. I ALWAYS click "receive all". However, on a invoice that has 20 lines i still have to "OK" each line. On a invoice that is a few lines long its quick. But I am thinking that I could be quicker. Is this how everyone is receiving PO's? This isn't a huge issue. but when your busy it would be nice to be able to "receive all" and really "receive all". To me the "receive all" button just seems to stream line it which is great.

I do what you do. I like the fact that you need to "approve" each part because it forces me to go line by line. I have occasionally caught the fact that not everything I ordered is on the invoice and allows me to follow up with the vendor right away.

I only go line by line to input the invoice # and verify cost. What is the benefit of the receive all approach?

I enter invoice number in the "parts" window.

When parts arrive I verify that we got everything on the paper copy of the invoice. Once I know I have everything I go to the PO and "receive" it all. When its just a part or two, its not a big time thing. But I had a PO this morning with about 20 items. Every part was there, NOTHING needed updated. I just thought it would be handy to "receive all" and have all of the parts received in a click or two. But it still takes a line by action to receive "all" . I was just wondering if my work flow was the issue.

Seems like an extra step. Its already time consuming enough to put invoice #'s in each one. It would be nice if you could do a received all button and one invoice #

The enhancement request list includes an item for vendor invoice entry when receiving parts (when you learn of it); that should copy down to each part ordered on its RO to save the repeated entry.

Nice
