FAQ: Why Part #'s Do Not Show in the Purchase Assistant
Question: Why are part numbers sometimes not displayed on the invoiced rows in the Purchase Assistant?
The purpose of the Purchase Assistant screen is not to display the purchases on a given repair, but instead to display outstanding tasks/activities related to purchases.
- Invoiced rows are only displaying the AP transactions.
- An AP invoice doesn't record a part no field. (below is a screen shot of the AP screen and you can see that on each line there is no where for a part no. It simply doesn't exist in the AP design and database structure)
- *However, if an AP line is linked to a work order, then the screen CAN display the part number that it can read for the associated work order line.
- If the AP line is not linked to a work order line, it will display nothing for the part number.
Lines in the Purchase Assistant, not showing a part number. (There is an "X" in the Work Order Column)
