Purchase Order 3 Way Match - External Program

Version 6.0.04 does not allow a 3 way match (As listed below and sent to
bpcs-l@midrange.com previously) using the packing slip number.

Does anyone have a solution that would run outside of BPCS that could
allow us to use the packing slip to do a 3 way match?

        We would like to be able to do a 3 way match in Accounts Payable using 
the
        number on the packing slip.  BPCS Version 6.0.04 (Unix)

        At this time Account Payable Administrators use the Line number on the
        purchase order as a reference on which line was received and pay this 
line.

        This works great until we run PUR900.  PUR900 purges all completed lines
        and will re-sequence all purchase orders that have more than 750 lines.
        Once the re-sequence is completed A/P Administrators are not able to
        match the line numbers that were received before PUR900 has ran.
        A report is provided to A/P Administrators (written inhouse, by
        our programmers) showing the line number previous to running PUR900
        and the new line number, but using this report is very time consuming.
        This issue is also causing a problem matching within Systems Accrual.

        Contract purchase orders are set up once, one per Vendor.  All items are
        listed on the one contract purchase order.  Purchasing runs PUR900
        monthly to purge all completed lines and re-sequence purchase orders
        over 750 lines. This will enable new line items to be added to the same
        purchase order.

        Is there a way that we can do a 3 way match using the packing slip 
number
        within Version 6.0.04.  We do realize that this option is available
        in Version 8.
