I have just upgraded to AR2013 hoping that significant improvements had been made since 2012.9 and earlier. The upgrade was painful and took two half hour phone calls with the great tech help guys. But I digress....
AR19.7 (and earlier versions) - Stock Alert. If you select an item from the Stock Alert list, it will automatically create a PO and also automatically add any other items from that same supplier that were also on the Stock Alert list.
This is a great feature that fills your PO with all the stuff you need from that supplier. It is a critical feature that ensures that you don't forget include a needed item on a PO.
AR2011 and 2012 did not do this. I was hoping, after pointing it out during the AR2012 Live Pilot, that AR2013 would include this very important feature.
I am very disappointed.
When selecting an item from the Stock Alert list in AR2013, only that one item appears in the resulting PO. Any other items that you normally buy from that supplier are ignored and remain in the Stock Alert list. You then need to go through the Stock Alert list, line by line and try to identify the Primary Supplier of each item and manually add the relevent items to the PO.
