Dynamics 365 Business Central - Linkage between Sales Order & Purchase Order

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by WN-26030703-0 20

Hi, could anyone advise on Drop Shipment and Special Order functionality between Sales Orders and Purchase Orders.

My company is planning to use this feature to track and report the linkage between Sales Orders and Purchase Orders.

However, once either the Sales Order or Purchase Order is posted to an invoice, the archived documents no longer show the relationship between them.

How can we trace or maintain this linkage so that it can still be reported after posting?

Thank you

    As standard the drop shipment/special order link is broken when the process is completed.
     
    You could reference the SO/PO number on the corresponding document somewhere, or add as a dimension value.

    Hello,
    You might be missing a detail. You can see the link between the Sales Order and Purchase Order on the Sales Order Archive page, where you can check the Purchase Order No. at the line level. Make sure you check the correct version, because it creates two versions if you've done ship and Invoice separate :one for Shipment and one for Invoice.
     
    As you can see below, Version 1 is for Shipment, where we can check the PO number.





    Hope this helps, you can mark this as answer if it helps.

    Thanks 
    Yash Mistry.
