How to (easy) track a purchase?

Hello fellows,

I found it always tricky to know which supplier invoice relates to which purchase. Now I know the “link” icon, but that does not come so handy when there are many invoices.

Some time ago, I noticed that entries in “reference” are forwarded from the purchase to the supplier invoice. This was a good solution to my problem, but this behaviour seems to be gone; even in demo7.0 it’s no longer available, also in my local 7.0. At the same time, I can no longer check “reference” as a column to be viewed under suppliers’ invoices.

Could this be regarded as a bug?

Or did I misunderstand the whole process, and there is another method to trace from purchase to supplier’s invoice ?

What is the problem? What are you tracking?

No the reference field is used to store the identification of the current document from the external source.

It was a mistake to copy it between document.
