Purchase order lines ordering

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 49
Hello,
 
The purchase order is created by firming the planned purchase orders (grouped by supplier).
In the resulting PO we would like the lines to be ordered by item number (now it seems to be random).
For example, on the initial PO the lines are as follows:
Line number | Item number
1                    banana
2                    orange
3                    apple
 
I'd like the order to be:
Line number | Item number
1                    apple
2                    banana
3                    orange
 
If we change the lines' numbers and confirm the order, the order lines on the purchase order return to the initial ordering.
 
Do you know how to have the lines ordered by item number?

    Hi Community member,
     
    Do you mean on the form, you filtered on item number asc then you are losing this order?
     
    One option is to save a new view and pin it as default.
     
    Open the form - click on "Item number" field and sort it - save the view as - tick "pin as default view"
     
    Thanks,
    Layan Jweihan

    No, it's not the view. There is a column "Line number". When I change those numbers I still get the initial ordering on the PO confirmation.
    And it's not practical to have a lot of lines in some random order.

    Hi Community member,
     
    Can you please take a screenshot of the form you are referring to, showing before and after result to try and understand your issue

    We start from "Master planning":
    We firm several planned orders:
    We have a new purchase order:
    The lines are in some random order.
    We can change the Line numbers to have Item numbers in order (I'd like to have it in order from the start!):
    Now, we confirm the order:
    In the Purchase order confirmation we find the original items' order.
    Here, we have only 2 items. There could be 20, we always find the same original (random?) items' order.
