Ideas & Suggestions

Allow Items to Be Moved Freely Between Unordered POs Currently, on the Needs Ordering Page - once a line item is dragged from the Job on the left onto a Purchase Order on the right, there is no easy way to move it back or transfer it to another PO, even if the PO hasn't been marked as Ordered. If an item is accidentally added to the wrong PO, or you decide to purchase it from a different supplier, you should be able to simply drag and drop that item back into Needs Ordering or directly onto another unordered PO within that page. Instead, the current process requires you to: -Delete the item from the existing unordered PO. -Navigate back to the original job. -Locate the item and manually mark it as Needs Ordering again. -Return to the Needs Ordering page and add it to the correct PO. This creates unnecessary steps and increases the risk of forgetting to mark an item for ordering again, potentially resulting in missed items or delayed orders. Suggested Improvement: -Allow line items to be freely moved between the Needs Ordering list and any PO that has not yet been marked as Ordered. -Once a PO is marked as Ordered, the items could remain locked into the existing workflow like the current setup. This would make the purchasing process much more efficient, allow for quick corrections, and reduce the potential for ordering mistakes. Display the Assigned Vendor on the Needs Ordering Page It would also be extremely beneficial to have the assigned Vendor Name visible directly on the Needs Ordering page, ideally with the ability to sort or filter by vendor. When you're managing hundreds or even thousands of line items, sorting everything into the appropriate POs on the right side of the screen becomes a significant task. Having the vendor name visible would make it much easier to identify, organize, and assign items without having to dig into individual PO's. -Why These Improvements Matter -Purchasing isn't always as simple as assigning an item to a vendor and placing the order. We frequently have to compare suppliers to find the best pricing, check inventory availability, and determine which vendor can provide the best ETA. -Those decisions can change throughout the purchasing process, so we need the flexibility to move items around quickly without having to undo and recreate work. -As long as a PO hasn't been marked as Ordered, items should remain fully movable and editable within the Needs Ordering workflow. These two improvements would save considerable time, reduce purchasing errors, and make the Needs Ordering page much more effective for shops managing high order volumes.

Add this new feature to the Needs Ordering Page as well to draw attention to Orders that need priority ordering.

Give the people what they want

It would be very helpful to have a price column per line item on purchase orders. To avoid suppliers altering their prices prior to invoice/statement/delivery of goods.

I wish when creating a purchase order it would sort items like InkSoft does. For example, multiple orders with PC54 Navy instead of having individual line items the InkSoft PO puts them all together by color and size so it is easier to order with the invoice number next to it so you can allocate correctly.

When I create a new PO and associate it with Sanmar...I would LOVE to see the Vendor name next to the PO# in the printavo.com/purchase_orders/organize view. See attachment.

Especially now, with so many back ordered/out of stock items, it would be nice to be able to note back orders in product status (along with needs to be ordered, order and in-house) and have that show on work order/invoice. That would make communicating with our clients much more efficient.

If I have the same blank getting multiple different designs on one invoice, I need to know the total number of shirts to order, not have multiple lines for the same product. On the receiving side those combined quantities are shown all together, we need exactly the opposite. I need to order the combined total and check the shirts in separated by the design.

We would like the ability to attach files to a PO, such as art files...etc A feature that is important when ordering promotional products.

Many times when ordering a product with a PO, it is required to include production ready artwork for that file for any promotional items. Right now, the workflow is to save it as a PDF and email it out side of the program, taking us out of Printavo again. Or to use a third party program to upload the file and link it. Neither are fluid, convenient, or keeping us in Printavo for the workflow. Please add the ability to either attach an additional file for artwork when sending the PO to the vendor, or to include the production files already in the quote. The ability to use the artwork files already in the quote would be better and far quicker, but either would work.
