154: Updating PO lines after changing supplier
Colin Jenkins, 07/10/2004

A button called "Update Lines" will be available on the "Actions" tab of a purchase order (PO) from build 21.2.6. No release date has been set for this build yet.

The button is intended for use before the PO has been approved and in situations where you have changed the PO supplier. Pressing the button will scan all the PO lines (after a confirmation dialogue) updating the supplier part numbers, dates, prices and CofC flags as appropriate to the new supplier.

In situations where the line quantity is smaller than the minimum quantity that the supplier can supply, the line quantity is increased to that figure. For sized items, the line will only be updated if the supplier can supply the part in the same size.

In general, a line is only updated if there is a corresponding their-part record appropriate to the new supplier and the our-part number lodged in each line.

The line is marked as Edited for reference if it was updated.

This has been implemented as a semi-automatic user-instigated action because it affects purchasing quantities and prices etc.
