Hello,

BC fills “Order No.” on a posted purchase invoice only when all the invoice lines come from the same Purchase Order.
If the invoice pulls lines from multiple POs (via Get Receipt Lines, etc.), the header can’t show a single PO, so Order No. is left blank.
The PO numbers still exist on the lines, just not on the header.

Regards,

Order No field is available in all purchase related Tables

Order No Field is available in header and line . Order No for header will useful when you want to do purchase reciept , posted purchase invoice and want to know what is its Order no or source no

Order No at line level is useful when you pull mutilple reciepts for invocing . In a single invoice you can have multiple POs and multiple Receipts . At this instance line level data is helpful

Warm Regards

Hello,

Business Central captures the “Order No.” on a Purchase Invoice from the linked Purchase Order when the invoice is created through the Create Invoice process; if entered manually, the field remains blank unless you select an order in the header.

This value is stored in the Purchase Header (Table 38) for traceability between invoices and their originating orders, and it does not auto-populate unless the invoice is associated with an order.
