Using Macros to Speed up my Process

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

Hello all 

I am long time user of GP but new to trying out macros. I am trying to see how I can use them to speed up the process of creating PO's. 


I would like a macro that auto populates the PO #, selects my buyer ID and enters a specific vendor ID (I would create a different macro for the common used vendors). I was able to create the macro and can see it opening the window to select my name and the window for the vendor ID but they still stay blank once it is done. 

Can anyone tell me if I am SOL on this? 

I am tried also auto generating from the SO, but unfortunately it actually adds more time for me. I am usually creating over 40 PO's a day so any help to speed up the process would be appreciated. 

We are either GP 2016 or 2018

Thanks, Stephanie

    In your macro do you tab passed the next PO number, enter the buyer and then enter the vendor number? Are you looking up these values or entering them? I just created a macro and it works fine.

    Can you send an example of your macro? Do you have it pause so that you can enter the vendor? I'm not clear on where the macro is failing for you or how far in the process you want it to go. I've worked with macros for 25+ years and I'm hopeful that I can help. Please let me know if you need any assistance.

    Kind regards,

    Leslie
