How to link the sales side and the purchase side using the Item reservation method

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 164
Hi. 
We are attempting to connect the sales side and the purchase side using the item reservation method. We already established creating the PO from the SO however when we processed the invoice, the connection was somewhat lost. How do we associate the PO and SO to the invoices that were processed? In this way, we can correlate any posted payments and payments received from the client. Thank you. 
 
Or, do we have other way of correlating the Posted Sales invoice and Posted Purchase Invoice wherein we can generate a report to show the open and closed transactions based on the payments posted and the payments received? Do we have a built-in report in BC that we can use? 
I have the same question (0)

    my understanding is this is standard BC behavior. after a SO is processed the link is no longer preserved. But you might consider using something like the original SO or PO number in the notes, or add a comment to the invoice line. You might consider build a customization to keep such link as well.
     
    hope it helps.

    Hi, if you just want to link payments from customers and vendor, you can try the following standard feature.
    Business Central 2022 wave 1 (BC20) new features: Consolidate customer and vendor balances (For the company that is both customer and vendor)
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.
