    This is not possible in standard for PO. Unless your making a PR. Can you please explain in detail with screenshots.

    yes, i open it via a saved url . and link points to the right company. What are the cases in which this can happen ?

    Standard, the PO belongs to one company. If you create it in one, it will be in that one. Are you using the purchase requisitions? In that case, the buying legal entity on the purchase requisition might be incorrect.

    Hi,

    Are you operating D365FO and do you open the system via a saved URL link?

    Does the link point to the right company?

    If this is not related to your issue can you share some screenprints and more details please?

    Many thanks and best regards,

    Ludwig

    Do you mean that you create it in company A, but actually the order appears in company B?

    How to you create the order? Do you have some customization on related the form / classes?
