Purchase order lines renumber function

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 283

Hi all,

any one knows that why system will NOT automatically renumbering the PO lines if I delete any one of them

but user need to click the menu "Renumber" function manually ?

what is the rationale behind ? 

Case : in PO lines, says, I had created 3 PO lines originally, then I deleted the Line Number "2" ; then only 2 lines left but the line number showing "Line 1" and Line 3" 

only user manually click "Renumber" ==> the line number will be updated to Line 1 and Line 2

But in Purchase Requisition, if I created 3 PR lines, and deleted the line 2, system will automatically re-ordering the lines to Line 1 and Line 2

why in Purchase Order, need to do it manually ?

    MSFT don't often share the reasons for certain design decisions, but sometimes we can make a best guess. Mine would be that the Purchase order is a document which you share with your vendor, often in paper/PDF format, or sometimes electronically. In such cases, the Vendor can see Line 1 is this quantity of this item (and sometimes, especially in the case of electronic orders, the line number is probably shared with the vendor).

    If you then change Line 1 to be something else, and the vendor were to then contact you with a query about Line 1, or if you were receiving based off line number (which is possible in the Warehouse app), mistakes might be made. So rather than force a line number recalculation every time, it is optional.
