It would be extremely helpful if purchase orders included the supplier’s name and address, as well as a field to manually enter a “ship to” address for each order.

Most importantly, purchase orders should allow the cost per item to be manually edited without changing the product’s standard cost in the system. This is especially important when outsourcing or purchasing items at a discounted or promotional rate.

For example, I may use the regular garment price when calculating product pricing, but the supplier may be running a sale at the time of purchase. Being able to edit the item cost directly on the purchase order would allow the PO to reflect the true cost of the order without requiring calculations or adjustments elsewhere.
