Update for Purchase Order Analysis Report

Purchase Orders > Report > Purchase Order Analysis Report

Suggestions

• It seems like some of the data under each purchase order item could be made simpler and easier to understand by adding extra columns for things like quantity ordered, quantity received, difference. Not clear why that information needed be listed in a summary section for each item.
• Perhaps a different layout for the report should be considered that looks more like an order form with additional columns indicating item quantity ordered, received, difference, etc. In one table. Not separate tables.
• Does it make sense to include the item prices in the Purchase order report? If so, support for multiple currencies should be added.
• It seems like a final summary section on the whole order should be included with items such as: Total number of items order, total number of items received. Order status: (Partial, complete, etc).

It is not clear to me that the report is currently doing the right thing. Consider this screen shot. Notice that the "total" 53 is shown for two different purchase order items. Why?
