Overview
The customer wants Bill number searches to return associated Purchase Orders, aligning with the current behavior of Part number searches. This enhancement would improve visibility into related records and create a more consistent and efficient search experience across modules.
Current Limitations
• Searching by Bill number does not return related Purchase Orders
• Part number searches already return associated POs, creating inconsistent behavior
• Users must manually navigate or perform additional searches to locate linked POs
• Reduced visibility into relationships between Bills and Purchase Orders slows workflows
General Example
A user searches for a specific Bill number expecting to see the related Purchase Order. However, unlike a Part number search, no associated POs are shown, requiring the user to perform separate lookups to gather the full context.
Requested Enhancements
- Update Bill number search functionality to return all related Purchase Orders
- Ensure consistency with existing Part number search behavior and results structure
- Display linked Purchase Orders in a clear, accessible format within search results
- Maintain performance and response times when expanding search relationships
Business Value
• Improves consistency across search experiences in the platform
• Reduces time spent navigating between related records
• Enhances user efficiency and workflow speed
• Provides better visibility into procurement and billing relationships
• Decreases reliance on manual cross-referencing and repeat searches
