Open Purchase Order Countdown

asked on May 9, 2013 Show version history

We did an AP Processing demonstration for a client earlier this morning.  One of the questions that came up was if it was possible to do a countdown of the purchase order amount as individual invoices are being paid for that one PO.  An example would be, they have a PO for $100,000 but that amount is split into payments, so they will have maybe 12 different invoices against that one PO throughout a period of time.  They call this type of PO an “open PO”. 

 

The way they do it right now, is every time one of those invoices get paid per month, they put a post-it note on the PO with the new amount.  Is there a way the total amount field can change (countdown) every time one of those invoices are paid?

Short answer: Yes.


Long answer: If the invoices that are being stored in Laserfiche have a PO number field, then workflow can take that PO number, run a search to find the actual PO document, take the “Amount Remaining” field (or whatever other field they want) from the PO, subtract the invoice amount from the remaining total and update the “Amount Remaining” field. You could also setup a rule so that when the “Amount Remaining” field = $0, it will change the status to “Closed PO” which I assume exists since they have an “Open PO” status.
