I run a service company and frequently get Purchase Orders and would like to see how much a module would cost, below is what I need, its basically a form where I enter details, I want to be able to
Once logged into website I see:
Raise Job (Button) Click this pops up a box with some text boxes, for example
Purchase Order: Enter number or tick box next to it to create a job number if its a verbal purchase order
Client: Enter Client - Possible Drop down box could get this data from our accounting program
Date: Automatically load with current date
Description: Enter job description
Close job This would be linked with our accounting program
My accounting program is Kashflow, this supports SOAP API, See http://www.kashflow.com/developers.
So starting with closing the job:
We need to query the accounting site to see if an invoice is paid, and update a field if so, I'm not sure how this module will identify a particular invoice, maybe from the purchase order number
Client:
We should be able to get this from kashflow, so I'm thinking a drop down box with an option to add new client
Date:
When raising the job the current date is automatically loaded
Purchase Order
Sometimes we dont have purchase orders and they are a written email, so we need a tick box to generate a random number
This will generally be accessed from a Iphone

Hi Paul,
It's hard to quickly place a price on this based on the information given, but I did want to reply.
After looking at this a bit, I think some of the technical words you're using for your business process may get in the way. "Raise Job" is a little unclear, for instance. Does it mean, in essence, "create job" or "create purchase order?"
Regardless, in general, it looks like you're looking to create a system for managing purchase orders, which can be used via iPhone. It needs to integrate with Kashflow. It's not immediately clear, from your post, why or how Drupal is a part of this.
Regarding price, for a job such as this, I'd generally want to explore and put the aspects into a speadsheet and make some projections. Since this is a relatively specialized job, that doesn't seem to be standardized Drupal, I think the preference around here is to discuss such matters privately (in PM or such).
It does not seem offhand to be likely to be a small quick job, FWIW, so I suspect many experienced consultants begin by asking if the other party has sufficient budget to get the job done as it should be done, again FWIW.
Please feel free to post here again if you wish to discuss / clarify your post requirements, or to PM if you're interested in me looking at the project.
Best regards, Ken
