Adding the "Vendor Item No." in the Purchase Order Lines

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 71

Hello,

I need to add the "Vendor Item No." (in addition to the Item No.) on the purchase order lines. I tried to use the Personalize tool but the field "Vendor Item No." is not available among those selectable.

How can I add it when I create an order? I suppose I need to customize fhe form. Is there any documentation. Is there any useful techical documentation on that?

Regards
I have the same question (1)

    Hi,

    If you want vendor item no in Purchase invoice lines you can use design method but that is only applicable for Sandbox environments.

    if you want to go for customization below is the logic you can follow

    pageextension 50105 PurchaseInvoice extends "Purch. Invoice Subform"
    {
        layout
        {
            addafter("No.")
            {
                field("Vendor Item No."; Rec."Vendor Item No.")
                {
                    ApplicationArea = All;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    If my answer was helpful to you, please verify it so that other users know it worked. Thank you very much

    Have you tried Item Reference?

    The Vendor Item number in the Item card is used by the replenishment worksheet.

    If can use the item reference (Old Item Cross Reference table) if you want to show the vendor reference in a purchase order.

    That will take care of validating the vendor number in the purchase header so the correct reference will show on the purchase lines.

    Hi

    You have 2 ways to do that

    1) Use Item reference No that is already available there but you need to add it to item card

    2) Use Design Mode to add it to that page  https://yzhums.com/21735/

    Using the Item Reference should be the right approach. In my case, I have to exchange these two field. I don't know why in my BC is used the Vendor Item No. instead of the Item Reference.

    Thanks

    Thank you, I think I'll use the Item ref.

    But the Design Mode, is not used only in Sandbox?

    Correct. design mode is only in Sandbox. But per that article you can create extension and then upload back to production. Just be careful if you have other development in production because it is a chance of conflict. Or ask your BC partner to do this.

    Thank you, it is very useful for future needs. In my case I think I will change the field used, field Item References instead of Vendor Item No.
