Vendor and Purchase Order Management

I have a few issues with the current vendor management and purchase order system and wondered if anyone else does, or if I'm just not getting it quite right.

Vendors

We can generally source products from a number of vendors, the manufacturer themselves, or a number of other distributers.

I find it very time consuming to add the vendors to the items each time, and we bring in new products weekly,

I'd like to be able to add multiple items to a vendor in one go, a tick box type of thing, or drag and drop maybe?

We also use the SKU as the product indentifier for all those vendors (vendor SKU is always the same as product id)

Also, if we start using a new distributer, we need to add large numbers of items to that distributer easily.

Purchase Orders
I find creating POs very confusing:

1. No buttons on the PO screen, so after adding quantities what do you do to save/cancel the PO?
2. There is no way to see how many of the items you have in stock so you need to produce the PO manually first, eg walking around the store trying to remember what products come from what vendor and looking at what is in stock

Anyone have any feedback?
