Hello, 

not sure if this is our user problem or system problem.

we noticed after a SO or PO is invoiced, the link between the two disappeared. 

we wont be able to see what which SO was the PO for.

anyone else has this problem?

thanks

    Have you used a purchasing code to link the two? This is applied to dropship and special order scenarios. The data remains if this method is used. Otherwise it assumes purchases could be for any order. Reservations don’t last after posting because they hold no purpose

    When you create the PO is linked to the SO, yes this is right, there is a link in table 39 purchase order line with the SO

    the problem is,

    when you post the SO BC transfer the sales header and sales line to other tables (Sales shipment Header and lines and Sales Invoice header and sales invoice line) and then, delete the order record (table Sales order header and lines), and this causes the link to be broken.

     

    you can develop an extension that makes the link using the item ledger entry because a drop shipment is linked in that table to use that link for costing purposes or if you only want to know the sales document (shipment) used for the purchased items, you can use the Item application worksheet in the item card
