We are using GP PA to track all of our hotel installs. One really time consuming "work around" we are experiencing is that we are having to use SOP Orders to fulfill parts and assets that are needed for the installs. By using sales orders we allocate the inventory items to a customer and then are able to fulfill it and ship the parts to the hotel for install. Then the order is transfered to an invoice in order to bill a hotel for the parts. This requires a great deal of management because there is no way to tie this process to the project (no link between the SOP module and PA). PA Inventory Transfers are the only option but again they don't give us the ability to manage the allocating of the parts to the projects.
Has anyone use a 3rd party product or found a viable work around for this issue? I inquired a bit about the Wennsoft Job Cost product but I prefer to keep the GP PA solution due to all the time and training invested in making it work (well work but in a way that requires excess work that is).
