I have 2 purchase orders for 2 different units that have lost all of their items. I printed the advancement report and shopping list, made my purchases. Now that I’m trying to print the merit badge cards the POs are empty.
The PO numbers are:
1090812
1069516
@SamByrd - did you mark the items as awarded before you closed them ?
Only 1 of the 2 is closed but yes, everything has been marked as awarded.
If I look on the awarded tab those items don’t have a PO associated with them anymore.
@SamByrd - The fact that you marked items awarded prior to closing the PO is what deletes items.
@SamByrd System thinks an awarded Item does not need to be purchased as you have awarded/given to the scout - so it drops off open (Live) POs - they stay on Closed (static) ones cause you have already purchased and closed the PO.
I’m pretty sure one of them was closed before I awarded but maybe not. I’ll have to remember that in the future, glad it’s only about 12 merit badges to manually fill cards out for.
@SamByrd - that is some consolation. But yeah any items without a PO number were awarded either not on a po or were on an open po. I worked the process this way:
- add items to PO
- print the items as you did
- close the po unless i had to remove items not available.. then close the po based on actual items
- open new po for back order
- run my recognition report.
I did this for nearly a decade for the pack in scoutbook. If you are ready to shop.. got all the items then close that po.. you will be much happier.
