Creating orders from amazon the invoice will not include any order detail so we need to find the FOLIO order by title Many clicks for the single line invoice. Create from PO would be helpful here in saving the user clicks. |
Allow users to create invoices lines with negative amounts | DEFERRED | A number of vendors do not send credit invoices through EDI as they are often 1 or 2 lines. So they are entered by hand. |
Allow user to select specific POLs | VERIFIED | When ordering a membership we generally pay for the membership on a single POL but the order may have other POLs representing the additional things included with the membership. If creating multi-line firm orders you may have certain titles arrive at different times on different invoices. Meaning not all POLs will appear on the same invoice. |
