I'm on SP4 and still don't see SO-A to S/O-N. In fact when I initially suggested auto chaining in "Streamlining data entry"

1. Purchase order received from customer and entered in SO-A
2. SO-A is converted to Work order using SO-N.
3. Work order is edited to include stuff that doesn't get on there in the SO-N process.
4. Traveler is printed.
5. Job is run off and packing slip is made in SO-C.
6. Delivered Packing Slip copy returns to office for billing.
7. S/o is released for billing using S/O-E.
8. Invoice is printed and mailed.
I still would love to see auto chaining that would fit the way I use the system. Is it possible to come up with a way for users to make custom auto chain entries in PS-H so everyone can do what's convenient for them?
The auto chaining is a great idea, but in its present form there aren't many auto chaining options for me. S/O-E to S/O-F is about it.
