I was processing awards for our pack and thought I was missing an item I ordered. When I opened the purchase order in Scoutbook Plus, I noticed many of the items and scouts were missing. Looking into it further, I found that when I marked an adventure as awarded, it disappeared from the PO. I tried …

[image] SteveDeemer: Shouldn’t these items remain on the PO regardless of whether they have been awarded or not? No. The idea of the PO is to list items that need purchasing. If it’s been awarded, there’s no need to purchase it. ETA: If you’re awarding out of stock (e.g. immediate recogni…

@SteveDeemer Are you referring to open purchase orders? An item that is awarded does not need to be purchased and thus will drop off an open PO. Closed POs are supposed to be locked and items not removed.

OK - this seems like different behavior than Scoutbook. I recall checking open PO’s in the past as I was awarding items. I will close future PO’s before starting to mark things as awarded. Thanks for the clarification.

I’m just a unit ASM who tries to help point folks at a solution, but the SUAC folks may be able to pass it along to the developers for further investigation. Thanks for chasing it down and getting it reported!

No, the screen came back as though it was back at the beginning of the process, no Purchase order number, created date or item total. If it happens the next time, I’ll take a screen shot.

We had the exact same thing happen and found the report through the same method you did. But the PO still doesn’t show up where it is supposed to. I’ll be curious to hear if there is any resolution to this.
