Purchase orders and code updates

[Don W. <das...@ya...>]

Two things:

In discussions, while I was installing SQL ledger a
question came up about how to handle orders.  We would
like to keep track of what is on order.  And, we don't
want stuff that is ordered to show up on the books
until it is received, especially since received
doesn't necessarily match ordered.  So, I have or will
be changing a few things:

1) I added a received checkbox to each line of the
invoice, and added a received (int) field to the
invoice table.  I modified the ir.pl to display this
field, and IR.pm to only update the books when a line
of an invoice is received.

2) Our vendors don't require any special forms for PO,
so I am going to add a template just like customer
invoice to generate printed vendor invoices, to
e-mail/mail to vendors.

3) Finally, I will add a "on order" field to parts,
and the code to handle updating that field.

Are these things that would be good in the general
sense?  Would you like me to send my modification?

Any problems with #1 or can you think of a better
solution?

Don
