    hello negreamn Alin,

    I just tested an did not face this issue.

    From the All Purchase Order list page what I did was: copy a list of ordered from an excel tab;le (one under each other), click in the ordered for the first line (with or without existing values), copied the excel values and hit the Tab key.  The system asked me if I wanted to save or discard the changes to the table. I saved and values were updated.  Only difference I see is that you started from a filtered list of purchase orders.  

    Did you get this message:

    - Since you copied from Excel, is the copied value for orderer an actual value for the employee that is ordering?

    - If you select the drop down, can you change the orderer without issue?

    - Do you have another session open (different screen open to same list page and in edit mode)?

    - Are you trying to copy many orderers at the same time.  If so that will not work from that page

    Hello Danny

    I read with interest your reply .

    I use a filter to select the PO's where I need to update the orderer name .

    I open only one tab for making this operation  with copy paste , but when I press save gave me the error message and brings back the old values .

    From drop down list I can change the orderer .

    Before the updates of Dynamics I didn't had this issue . Could be some settings what I have to to ?

    Hello Negrean Alin,

    I tested using Chrome and Edge browsers using a filtered list of Purchase Orders with no issues.  I tested in Contoso environment with version 10.0.22, so may be it has something to do with version you are using.  I tested with copying 20 orderers so saving updated records is relatively fast.  

    This is an extract from the reference documentation on this feature.  So your environment version does have an impact. You can make sure that the feature <New Grid Control> is activated (it should be activated by default).  There is no setup to allow saving or not.  Do you know if there was any modification to the Purchase Order table?

    Here is the Microsoft Docs on the topic with some relevant extracts:

    There is a documented limitation of the new grid in intercompany scenarios ( I think only affects lines ). These PO's are intercompany ?

    Hello Danny

    I have version 10.0.24 . I check the above mentioned steps but I don't see D365 Feature Management to activate the New Grid Control.  There was no modification to the Purchase Order table .

    Hi Maia

    These Po's are not intercompany , all are external suppliers .

    Hello Negrean Alin,

    Unfortunately I only have acess to a 10.0.22 environment. You said that you did not have this issue with previous version.  I should have a 10.0.25 version ready in the next day so will be able to test in that newer version.

    The Feature was already enabled by default in 10.0.22 so it not being visible in Feature Management is probably because it is now standard and no longer optional.

    Regards,

    Danny
