Purchase Order Note Field On Main PO Screen.
We have started to heavily use the purchase order module. On any given day we can have 15-20 new purchase orders generated and have 20-50 open purchase orders.
As items arrive, it is very difficult to match the item that has arrived with the purchase order. Especially on eBay and secondary market purchases where you most likely will not get an invoice or anything in the package that you can match the total up with.
The current PO screen shows the PO number, vendor, ETA, price, but no indication as to what the item is.
A custom note or the general note field would be advantageous.
For example, I may have 10-12 open Purchase Orders for "eBay" and each day when we open packages, I have to open every purchase order to match up the item.
If there were a visible note field, then I would save all that time and more quickly receive the item into inventory.

I have 15-25 orders out at a time- I am having to use the tracking field to place a note of what is on the order (Hard Drives) (Power Supplies) so I do not have to manually open each one and hunt. This assist us in knowing that we have already placed a order and do not re-order. PLEASE add this easy enhancement so we can use my tracking field again. Thank you.

I like this idea. Quick suggestion to you though, are all of these PO's directly for Inventory or could some of them be "Part Orders" for special orders per customer. If they are then Using the "+New"--"Parts Order" could cut down on your Purchase Orders and make things a little easier to track using the "Parts" Module Which includes a description of the part automatically in the list. I still see what you are saying with the purchase orders though and agree that would be handy.
