PO History for One PO company - multiple distribution companies

We have one PO company and multiple distribution companies. Many times our buyers will get a call from the requester saying 'I ordered X item a while ago, I can't remember the req or where I got it from or . . . '. The buyer currently uses PO54 and searches by item. They would love to be able to search by item AND requesting location/account unit, but PO54 will only work if the req loc/acct unit are set up under the PO company. Many many times they are not.

Wondering if there is a form within Lawson that others have used to find PO54 type information and are able to filter by account unit or req loc. I would like to use the default forms over a crystal report if at all possible.

Thanks!

    In RQ42 (Requisitions By Item) you can enter the user's requesting location and then search for an item. Click the select button for the item. Change your search to "Items Requested By A Requesting Location". This selection will include nonstock and specials.

    That's pretty slick. We could always use PO54, so the RQ forms are not used much. Now are moving to only one PO company. It is causing much angst with the buyers. This should help. Thanks!

    We have 4 medical centers, 6 urgent care offices, 2 long term care facilities, home care and DME, and about 100 physician practices all under one PO company. The only other companies we have are for our health insurance network and the Mobile PET which is a joint venture between us and a couple other local hospitals. I would think having one PO company would be easier for them.
