PO Status

In addition to these comments about back order, I would like to request the ability to set the status to "PAID". SO when a report is run on purchase orders, the report splits into DRAFT/ISSUED/RECEIVED/PAID
Where this gets a little complex is distinguishing between Paid Proforma and Paid on credit account. Would be worth a conversation about this as it is driving me bonkers and would be able to help the accounts team pre-schedule payments prior to receiving an Invoice.

Is this referring to an order at a local supply house? Is the entire order backordered?

Kevin Frye: What I meant to say is, when receiving items in a PO, it would be easier to mark an item back ordered in the PO instead of opening project editor and finding the item and manually marking it backordered. The same can be said for the ready for pickup status. I did create this status but having to look into a project vice just looking at the PO would be much faster and easier.

Mike Eastman: Thanks for clarifying Mike. I was leaning in that direction but it is always good to hear you say it. I couldn't agree more that I should be able to set a specific "item order status" within a PO just like I can in the project. It is definitely a pain to go find the item in the project editor to make that update.
One question: What if I order 10 of a thing and I'm only going to receive eight and two are backordered. Should I be able to set the order status for eight vs. two in the PO interface?

Kevin Frye: i would say both if possible. Failing that, I would say by recieving the eight the other 2 could auto set to "back ordered". What are your thoughts?
