Change order of columns in the item drop-down menu on Sales Line

Hi

in the Item selection drop-down list on the Sales Order Line, to see the Inventory column users need to scroll to the right. We would like to move the Inventory column more to the left. Is this in any way possible?

    So, as Inge mentioned, you should recreate a new page.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    Another option can be to define a completely new lookup page that will be used instead of the default lookup page.

    No, there is no way to move the columns. Currently all you can do is addlast.

    Hello NorthW

    thank you for your response. We have tried that, but apparently you can only add columns and not change the order of the columns. Are we overlooking something?

    Yes you can, but you will have to do it in code by changing the dropdown fieldgroup in a table extention.

    Here is some referance that you can look at :
