ISSUE - Once a purchase has been made through a supplier we use a monthly spreadsheet to reconcile outstanding orders that are out of date - we then chase the supplier for updates on the order and delivery time expected. (time consuming importing items across to excel)
SOLVE - when completing a PO if a 'REVIEW DATE' box was added to the Purchase orders tab in 'DELIVERIES' advising when you want notice the order is 'out of date' if not yet received. i would use this to diary a review date a week before for important purchase that are time critical that need to be shipped out.
Each day you can check your 'DIARY DATES' OR 'REVIEW DATE' tab on a line added to the left with Sales order, suppliers, Purchase Orders, DIARY DATES/REVIEW DATES - this will list all the Purchase orders with EXPIRED at the top in date order highlighted RED (oldest at top and out of date - newest at bottom.) This will only hold Purchase orders that are active and not marked as 'RECEIVED DELIVERIES'
