To Do List: Stock Alert - My item and Supplier's Item Numbers

I would love to see the item number displayed in the stock alert, not just the item name. We have a lot of items with the same name but different item numbers so this is very useful to us.

    Dear Liam/ Myob team 

    Fix the not working issues first before you try and add more complexity to something that doesnt work already 

    I have been using MYOB since 1993 VER 3 and so far there hasnt been any significant steps forward in user friendliness for most of the time 

    A few steps forward in 2014/2015 but they have been far outweighed by the functions that are not working properly 

    Stop trying to make MYOB more accounant friendly and make it business owner and staff user friendly 

    Its still possible to accidentally change the name of a customer or supplier card just by overtyping it while your trying to look up a phone number etc

    Realistically HOW often do you ever change a card name or the info on it 

    you look up info 100's of times more than change it 

    Has been that way since version 3 or earlier 

    My advice to MYOB development team 

    GO AND WORK IN THE REAL WORLD WITH THIS FOR A WHILE TO SEE WHAT BUSINESSES REALLY NEED

    Thanks for the great suggestion. Including the item numbers in the stock alert would certainly help many users to differentiate the listed items. If you'd like to see this change, please cast your vote here.

    When generating a PO from the To Do List - Stock Alert in AR19.7, the items fill the PO in the following order:

    1, the item that you initiated the PO with by hitting the drill-down arrow

    2, all other items on the Stock Alert list that you buy from that supplier in alphabetical order.

     

    I don't know if this is the same in AR2012 - I'll let you know when I can get the To Do List to work!

     

    I would prefer to see the items populate the PO in supplier's part number order. It would reduce errors when someone is reading and entering the data from the PO at the supplier's end.

      Hello DerekRaine

      I apologise for the delay in getting back to you on this. In previous versions only the selected item would be included in an order, rather than all items from a supplier. This problem has been resolved and no longer occurs. There is a separate issue where items where the on hand quantity is currently higher from than the restocking level, but current sales orders would bring the on hand level below the restocking level, won't appear or orders. This is likely why you've seen some items note carrying through. our developers are aware of this issue and we are looking into correcting it.

      Hi Emile,

       

      This has been a problem since moving from v19.10 to AR2014

       

      I can tick multiple items on the todo list from the same supplier but it will randomly miss items from the order.

       

      Note that v19 used to work perfectly.

      Hi DerekRaine,

       

      I'd just like to confirm, are you clicking on the arrow next to a stock item? This will create a purchase order for only the selected item.

       

      On the right hand side of the screen there will be a series of checkboxes, could you try ticking them and then click Order/Build?
