Sort order on PO's

Oct 18, 2006 9 Replies

Has anyone figured out a way to get printed PO's created in RMS to sort in numerical order under the Lookup Code? For whatever reason, when we print our PO's, some of the items print in non-sorted order. We may have a matrix item with 10 sizes and some of the items will print later in the purchase order, in the middle of some Lookup Codes that aren't in succession. i.e....


309-10
309-10.5
317-04
309.11
317-03

Etc. I have no idea what it is sorting by. It is driving my vendors crazy when they go to enter orders because they have to jump all over the place to enter the orders. Please pass on any insight. Thanks!

Jeff,

Yes, we've tried that but it has no impact on the way it prints.

Jeff, Some of the orders print out just fine. I'm not sure if it has to do with when the original item was created. Almost all of our items are Matrix based and some of the Matix components were added later, so maybe they get a different code number and that throws it off.

Jeff, We're on 1.3.1003. My service provider did a hotfix for us back in the early summer. Have there been two hotfixes since then? Any idea why I wouldn't ever get notification about these? I'm paying for two different maintenance agreements and I never hear anything from Microsoft.

Jeff,

Thanks for all your help - I had just done exactly what you said and submitted a support incident. I found somewhere in the list of hotfixes from this summer that there appeared to be a fix for the problem I'm describing.

Do you think it's prudent for me to do these support incidents each time I find something out of whack? I know of a few other things that are a pain in the but - like trying to use the scroll bar on reports and it doesn't really work, etc.

What happens next - does Microsoft give me a download password that will allow do get the newest hotfix that will cover all of the hotfixes to catch me up from 1.3.1003? Or will I have to run several different ones?
