Efficiently Managing Work Orders for Contract Labor in MP2 SQL 6.1 System

Question:

Incorporating contractor labor into our MP2 SQL 6.1 system is essential. A key priority is establishing a method to generate work orders (WOs) for them based on pre-approved quotes. Each contractor is assigned unique codes to facilitate identification by our purchasing team in a different location. Would it be most effective to create a purchase order (PO) for them and issue the WO as a Crystal report? Some contractors require a paper copy via fax, and it is crucial that they reference the central account code number. Our local buyer will authorize payment for each job. Can the system be configured to notify me if a quote exceeds our local approval limit? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I'm struggling with this task. I have turned to this platform for guidance on previous assignments and I'm hopeful for fresh ideas to steer me in the right direction. Thank you, Susan.

Thanks to the assistance of Crystal Reports XI, I successfully resolved this issue by extracting the job from MP2 using Crystal Reports, transferring it to an Excel database, and sending an electronic fax. After completing the task, the database signals its completion, allowing me to effortlessly transfer the cost back into my MP2 database.
