Whats is the Link between Ordinary a Sales order and Purchase order in Navision?

kovaidon

I know that ,

Sales order is linked with Purchase Order in case of Purchase code is either "Drop Shipment" or "Special Order".
Apart from that we can link Sales order with Purchase order by means of "Reserve" by Clicking Line ---> Functions---> Reserve in Sales Line of "Line"Action Button.

is there is any other link between Purchase order and Sales order that is possible in Navision........?
Please let me know.

BTW - That reservation link to the Purchase Order is only temporary. Once the PO is received, the reservation is transferred to the inbound Item Ledger Entry. Of course, it is still possible to trace that ILE back to the PO that created it.

I can't think of any other standard "system enforced" relations right now. There could however be relations that depend on specific business processed. For example, if unique lot numbers are assigned on purchase orders, then the lot number assigned to a sales order could provide the link to the purchase order.

Thanks for your kind replying.
Suppose incase of Adjustment of Qty in Sales order ,can we track back to which Purchase order it is linked to? any field in Sales order is getting updated with which Purchase order it is ,during adjustment ?

if any, could you clarify me?

bbrown

Can you clarify what you mean by "Adjustment of Qty in Sales order"?

if you do not explicitly dictate the PO to which the SO should be applied, then the application will be determined by the item's costing method at the time of posting. The same goes for any outbound inventory transaction. Either explicitly set an application or let the system determine it.

can you perhaps provide more information on what you are trying to accomplish?

kovaidon

Sorry sir...
Yes. The second one, the system determine..
How it is achieved sir ?

bbrown

It is based on the item's costing method. For example, if the costing method is FIFO (First in, First out) the sale would be applied to the oldest item ledger entry. That entry determined the COGS for that sale.

kovaidon

Understood Sir!
so if we dictate the PO to which the SO should be applied means , in Sales order Purchase code is either "Drop Shipment" or "Special Order" . So based on it we crate PO which will be linked with Sales Order. am i correct?
please correct me if am wrong sir!

Second thing if we do a cost adjustment in Sales order, can we able to track which Purchase order is linked to? if possible how? through which field?
