Option to view open Purchase Orders on Inventory Page

[sidney_long]

It's very useful to open inventory and use the "see more info" button to view all the locations where a certain product lives. In addition to this info it would be useful to see any open purchase orders that contain this product on the same page. Oftentimes, we are looking at inventory for a product family which may contain hundreds of products and it's not efficient to bounce back and forth between the inventory page and the purchase order page to verify that we have submitted orders for more product.

Hello @sidney_long , thanks for sharing this idea.

Can you share more on what data would you be interested into seeing for those Purchase Orders? I'm afraid of cluttering the inventory with too many details for those orders, and you may be interested into looking for example at the quantity to be received.

Hi @andrade_david. We are just hoping to see open purchase orders in line with the other locations on this page. Not too much information, maybe just the Purchase Order number and the quantity on order. Our warehouse team just doesn't always know when something has been ordered, this would be an efficient way to gather all of the information they need about products without navigating to several different pages.

Thank you for sharing this additional information, @sidney_long. Indeed, some core information about the total quantity to be received and the corresponding orders could help.

In the meantime, you may also consider exploring the Material Requirements module.
