recurring purchase invoices - how to setup

hi all,

thank you for all the input. it seems MS only caters for Creating recurring sales orders. Which is totally beyond me why they would only stop half way.

I have proceeded to get this coded for me to mimic the Recurring Sales Orders functions using Recurring Sales Order Lines in Job Queues.

thanks again.

recurring purchase invoices - how to setup

Hi,

This may or may not be relevant for your situation but I'm wondering if you could use the "Recurring Requisition Worksheet" for this.

Using this worksheet you can add the lines of the recurring purchases and create a Purchase Order and then invoice from the Purchase Order.

This wouldn't be automatic but you would avoid the need for customisation.

For example below is a line item for an Athens chair that recurs once a week. I've populated the Vendor etc and when I click "Carry out Action Message" a Purchase Order will be created and the date automatically moved on one week.

You would just have to click "Carry out Action Message" to get the Purchase Order every week.

It may not work but I wanted to mention it.

Hope this helps

Thanks

Gavin

recurring purchase invoices - how to setup

Hi

if you read my message. I say I have already setup recurring purchase lines and allocated to vendor. I want to know if there is a way to automatically setup purchase invoices in a weekly basis for the same delivery every Monday. So I can avoid having to do a manual purchase invoice every week for the same thing.
thank you.
