Adding Purchase Order Number field

Adding Purchase Order Number field to Get Receipt Lines page

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central users may receive one invoice from a vendor for multiple purchases and may want to combine receipts from more than one Purchase Order into one single Purchase Invoice. Users face the challenge of how to determine from which PO number the receipts lines originated. The PO number is not included in the information returned when the Get Receipt Lines pulls receipt lines into a purchase invoice.

The new SL Overlay Purchase Order Number field extends the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central functionality to include the Purchase Order number that is associated with the retrieved receipts lines on the Get Receipt Lines page.

Purchase Order Number field

When creating a Purchase Invoice, use Get Receipt Lines to pull un-receipted lines into the purchase invoice lines.

The lines are grouped by the new PO number so you can select which receipts from specific PO numbers to include on the Purchase Invoice lines.

To see the new Purchase Order Number field, in the Purchase Invoice page, go to Lines > Functions > Get Receipt Lines. Receipt lines from purchase orders that have not been invoiced will display in the Get Receipt Lines page. The SL Overlay Purchase Order number field displays the purchase order number associated with the receipt line and allows users to determine from which Purchase Order the receipt lines originated.
