Edit in Excel - Purchase order add Total Amounts

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 85

Hi Everyone,

We are looking at the Edit in Excel feature for purchase orders.  We would like to add the vendor invoice number on outstanding purchase orders then do a batch posting.  Before adding the invoice number we want to make sure that the Amount Including Tax matches the vendor invoice.

When viewing the Excel file that field is not included as a column.  Is there a way to make Amount Including Tax visible on the excel sheet?

I have the same question (0)

    You can not make that field visible in the Edit in Excel list. And that is because it is a flow field. And a flow field is not stored directly in the database table. It is calculated as the sum of the lines when the system needs to display it. Well technically it is stored in sum index tables but that does not change the fact that the invoice amount is not stored in the purchase order table.

    You can make a Excel report that shows the amount. But then you will be unable to update data back to Business Central directly as you can do with the edit in Excel feature.

    Hi,

    Adding more info.

    You can create a Batch processing report to update the Vendor Invoice for all the orders in once, but in that case you can take your CSV file or Excel data back to import with that report.

    Thanks.
