Modified PO form

What a concept to reconfirm a PO or reacknowledge an Order. To things
Vantage can't do.

The easiest fix I have been able to come up with for not printing closed or
void purchase order line items & releases and for not printing Order
Acknowledgement line items and releases is to add a some VBFORM fields to
the Header Record and Line Record Levels.
I put in both a PRINT FROM REQUEST DATE and THRU REQUEST DATE. I then added
four numeric fields for SKIP RELEASE NUMBERS this gives me a couple of ways
of not printing closed releases. I also don't print items that the qty is >=
the release amount.

My Acknowledgement form has the following formula under Details Line D under
SUPPRESS:

{orderrel.JOBSHIPQTY} + {orderrel.STKSHIPQTY} >= {orderrel.REQQTY}
OR {orderrel.NEEDBYDATE} < {orderdtl.ODDATE01}
OR {orderrel.NEEDBYDATE} > {orderdtl.ODDATE02}
OR {orderrel.ORDRELNUM} = {orderdtl.ODCHAR01}
OR {orderrel.ORDRELNUM} = {orderdtl.ODCHAR02}
OR {orderrel.ORDRELNUM} = {orderdtl.ODCHAR03}
OR {orderrel.ORDRELNUM} = {orderdtl.ODCHAR04}


Someday vantage will pass the CLOSED and VOID fields to fix this until then,
this has to rank in my TOP 5 pet peeves that Vantage will not fix.

Subject: [Vantage] modified PO form


has anyone modified the standard PO form to either delete closed releases,
or at least mark them as closed? as long as a line item is open, all of the
releases print open or not. this gets a little confusing for the supplier
when we reschedule something and confirm it with a hard copy of the PO.

if anyone has made modifications lake this and would be willing to share, we
would sure appreciate it. we are on version 4.00.904.
