+[Yes, completely up to user how they choose to use it.  It's so different in how it works I struggled to find a system that woudl work automatically and not get in the way.  The status before was tied to how it worked but it doesn't work that way anymore and technically users could just hide it if they don't use it.  If you have any suggestions on something different I can look into it, just couldn't think of a clean automatic system at the time] 
 
 ISSUE **PO numbers duplicating:
 the last generated PO # was 22. I edited an existing PO 17 to use PO 24, saved, all good. Created another po while testing stuff it used 23. And then I created another PO and I expected this PO to jump 24 and instead be labeled 25 BUT it TOO automatically set itself to number 24. So now I have TWO pos with number 24 (yes yes me as enduser can go in and change, so is this expected that numbers WILL ALWAYS be whatever raven decides and never actually follow +1 from the last biggest number?)
+[Yes this is still a work in progress.  I thought originally it might be a cool idea to make it editable or at least in case there was an issue or something but how you saw it working is how it works, it doesn't take into account existing records and needs a command to the db to reset the seed number separately.  I could make some code that checks on save if the PO serial has been overridden and tries to force the serial number seed value to change but saw all kinds of potential issues around that too. (performance issues, could mess up another user also saving a new PO at the same time; user could accidentally enter a huge number and then it's stuck dishing out more huge numbers automatically etc).  I was thinking maybe make it read only except for the superuser account only who could login to make changes and separately reset the next serial seed number in Global settings to avoid the issue you found with duplicate numbers. What are your thoughts on this?]

 I guess depends on what is the purpose of such a list, and is the INventory transactions useful instead?

 Is this as expected?  Have noticed that when editing a PO Item doesn't give option to "undo" or cancel - can you confirm is as expected:
 i.e. click on Edit action for an existing PO Item -> opens to that PO item record -> click on X for the part warehouse (this is the "accidental") -> click on Exit (as user doesn't remember what was originally selected there) OR click on ESC on keyboard -> the edit screen for the po item disappears BUT if I click on Edit action again, opens showing that there STILL isn't a warehouse selected...... BUT I did notice that when I Exit or ESC that the PO Item listed in the PO does correctly still show the original warehouse selected and if I try to move away I DO get the message about am I sure I want to leave and lose unsaved changes which is fine
 
+[As expected, when you edit you're live editing the record even in a popup sub-form inside a form.  To undo user needs to leave without saving.  I did not implement undo anywhere in v8, would require a whole other system of tracking changes etc.  Looked into it but it's pretty ugly code and would have impacted peformance and hugely increased size of memory footprint]

 Editing a PO such as adding another item to its order (not received) that has been set to Closed - Fully Received. Doesn't do anything in response. Stays at the old status. I understand that status is up to the user, but nothing? not even a "item added, status may not be relevant" or something? Or anything? How is this going to be advertised to the end user - "do whatever you want..."
