Special Purchase Order No. Missing from Sales Order Line

Posted on by Community Member

We created a sales order (Drop Ship) and we created a Purchase Order by using the Order >>> Drop Shipment >>> Get Sales Order.

When we do that - the Purchase Order Number will populate the Special Purchase Order No. on the Sales Line.

We noticed that for two Sales Orders - it is missing the Special Purchase Order No. on the Sales Line. Is there anything that could cause this field not to be populated or if it got populated to disappear?

If it is a drop ship it populates the values in the field called "Purchase Order No." if it is a special order then it populates the values in Special Order Purchase No.

Is it a drop ship or special order? if it is drop check the field value in "Purchase Order No."

As a standard process, it correctly updates the "Special Order Purchase No." and "Special Order Purch. Line No.". Perhaps, you may try simulating another order with the same details.

Since I cannot simulate an order with the same details - would it be a good idea to populate the Special Purchase Order Number on the Sales Line Table ?

If there are no customization then the standard NAV logic should take care of populating special Purchase Order No., i don't think you need to modify it to populate that value.

The problem is that it did not populate the Special Purchase Order No. on two sales orders. The others before and after these two orders are fine. I am not able to recreate the issue.

The issue is that users wants to see it and would it be best to update these missing information on the sales line table. This way the users will be able to see it on the sales order.

Yes you can update the information on the missing lines, but do check if there is any activity occurred on those orders or not.
