We use GP dynamics 2013 and are upgrading this fall. We have multiple sites and every site issues PO to bring in what they need. Sometimes we run into the issue where one site will order and item and then at a later time another site also needs the item. It is preferable to gang orders together to save on freight and also get quantity discounts.

I wish I could be notified when someone is ordering items we have in common so we could order together.

I don't think there is any way you can find this without having customization.

You can have small customization on Purchase Order Entry window, while on entering items and selecting a site, a small piece of code will check for PO's having same item+site combination and message pop ups to display the Purchase Order numbers.

Buenos dias,

Puedes utilizar el generador de Ordenes de Compras, configuras los sitios y los articulos con Minimo, Maximo y Punto de Reorden, asi cuando necesites comprar x articulos consultas el generador y te dice en que sitio hace falta comprar.

Hi Rob

You could probably write a customisation using the Developer Tools module of GP Power Tools in a few minutes to send you an email.

This example could be used as a basis

Hi Robert-

What drives the demand at the sites?

One of the features in Purchase Order Processing is the PO Generator. You can program it to look at the demand at multiple inventory sites, take rules into account (like what triggers an order -- minimum order quantity, maximum order quantity, economic order quantity, maximum stock quantity on hand, vendor minimum order, etc) and then it will consolidate all of the demand and apply all the rules into a detail screen for you to suggest what you should order and how much.

I hope this helps.

Joe
