Present: In Purchase Order - Field "Vendor Invoice No." is shown Mandatory with Red asterisk mark though it is mandatory only at the time of Invoice.
Proposed: At the time of creation of Purchase Order field "Vendor Invoice No." should not show Red Asterisk Mark as it is Mandatory until the STATUS of Purchase Order is "Received"
This confuses the Customer and Illogical as the customer will Not have Vendor Invoice No. at the time of creation of Purchase Order.
Please Correct this.
Comments
We've had a few clients also comment about the same thing - the red asterisk on the PO is confusing for the user raising the PO. The above is a workable solution, or even if it was something on the Purchases & Payables Setup that would allow you to choose whether you want the field marked as mandatory/required.Most of our clients don't generate invoices from PO's, they only receipt the PO lines and then have solutions like Continia Document Capture to process their invoices, where they match to receipt lines.
