[Vtigercrm-developers] why does purchase orders link tocontacts?

[Sreenivas Kanumuru]

Hi Steven,

In a future release (most likely in 6.0 in Q1 2009)  we plan to allow users
to add custom fields that can link to existing records (such as adding a
custom Account field in Purchase Order). In case you need the Account field
right away, please let us know. We can add it to the PO module as a paid
customization service, and possibly integrate it in the next release.
