Make Vendor Reference Number Field Indexable
Our staff often use the vendor reference number in order to search and find orders for review or to receive them, particularly when the title listed does not match the title in hand (usually due to vendor error in sending the wrong material). Being able to search for the vendor reference number (e.g. the 112-1111 etc. reference # from Amazon, or a vendor order confirmation #), would facilitate ACQ in finding materials and orders. Additionally, we understand we can "add" it to the Receiving Note or elsewhere, but we think we should be able to add the data to one field, and have it be searchable.

In addition to making it indexable, adding the Vendor Reference Number to the Acquisitions Retrieve PO Lines API would make it possible to develop a simple app that would check that all line items in an EDI invoice file have a matching PO Line item, before loading the EDI Invoice file. GOBI frequently sends invoice files with line items for POs that have not yet been sent.
