how to create a PO? BOMs?

For me, gnucash is the best way to do straight and simple general ledger,
where you still remain absolute master over your data, which is how it
should be, because it is MY data.
But for PO, SO, BOM, etc., gnucash ain't it. But I need those functions as
well, and found them by, also, using Postbooks (free download at
www.xtuple.org). Postbooks does also have integrated GL, however I found
that to be a nightmare, requiring me to constantly be in "damage control"
mode, after years of trying to make it my one-app-does-all solution. Nothing
you do can be undone, reversed, or modified (even with system-admin
privilege you have no "integrity"). The GL accumulates huge amounts of data
without your direct knowledge, and to look at it, is like looking through a
10ft long pvc pipe at the street scene outside. Gnucash came to my rescue by
allowing me to skip the GL part of Postbooks, and use Postbooks for what it
is good at, namely my shop operations... customers, vendors, Bom, inventory,
work orders... the whole ERP thing. The completely customizable customer
invoices it produces, and vendor invoices coming as a result of PO's it
produces, are simply entered into Gnucash without the mind-numbing stress of
using Postbook's built in GL, which appears to be written without benefit of
having accounting professionals on their staff (as suggested in their own
forums).
So now I am up and running with two solutions working together.
