Hi everyone,
In Epicor Kinetic we’ve run into an issue where POs created through PO Suggestions will only sort its line items via the Op Code assigned to each item. We’d like them to be sorted by the op sequence number instead to help avoid any confusion with subcontractors we work with, but there doesn’t appear to be any way I know of to reorder line items before the actual PO is generated in the system.
We’ve also attempted to create some data and method directives that would step through the same steps that get triggered when a user manually deletes and adds a new line item to a PO, but that has brought on other issues like quantities and dollar amounts being doubled. Is anyone aware of a way to influence the line item sorting when using PO Suggestions?
Only thing that I can think of is how are the suggestions selected in PO Suggs. If they are selected in the proper order, does that order translate to the PO?
The order they select items doesn’t seem to be influencing things at all. It seems like something behind the scenes always forces the line items to be sorted by the operation code.
The Epicor “Create PO’s” through suggestions is a black box process, and is pretty much locked down. We just created our own process and create PO’s using a UBAQ and hiding the Epicor one. Not an easy solution, but the only way we could figure out how to apply UD fields that needed to come from the suggestions. This would be a similar thing, there is a selection from the database for every suggestion that has “Buy” checked and matches the buyer selected. There’s going to be an order by of some sort in that selection in the base code, which we don’t have access to, but is determining the order of the PO lines that are being created.
