Earlier today I ran the Needs Purchasing report from the Scoutbook reports menu. It produced PO#016251. Good thing for me I printed it. ONE HOUR LATER, I tried to access the PO by again clicking the Needs Purchasing report option. This time, instead of showing me the open PO or generating a new one, it took me to Scoutbook Plus Roster page with the Advancements and To Purchase options selected. Step 1 says, “Check Items and add to a purchase order (your shopping list). A purchase order must be open in Step 2 to add items.” There are no items listed, and the included search function does nothing.
Under Step 2, it says, “No open Purchase Order
Please create or open a purchase order to proceed”, but the “Create Purchase Order” button underneath is non-functioning, and there is no option to open an existing PO. So I cannot open the previously created PO, nor can I create a new one. What great software!
Also, clicking the Closed Purchase Orders button does not show the PO I created earlier. From the same page, I clicked the To Award button, and it does show all the awards listed individually, along with a link to my PO. Hurray, a solution! No, because clicking that link brings up a page with the title of “Purchase order #1016251”, but is otherwise blank except for an option to “Close order”.
along with an error message that says, “Purchase order does not belong to the organization.” What???
I need to visit the Scout Shop today, and if I had not previously printed the PO, I would now have no way of knowing what to purchase, except to compile a list manually (we have 54 scouts and 91 awards to present).
