Automatic sorting of Purchase Invoice items

[tc5440]

Cannot find any other topics on this so…
When items have been entered on a Purchase Invoice you can sort the order by grabbing on the eft and moving up or down. When I click save they stay in the same order but when I view the purchase receipt they re-order. See our purchase #QF00269. This may be due to -ve value items but it makes more sense in the order I put them.
Any thoughts

Hi Nick

That does seem a bit odd. Tried to replicate this on a test account, but it seems to show it all OK.

I haven’t got access to a computer at the moment, but either myself or a colleague will take another look when we’re at a computer, and give you an update

[tc5440]

No problem, Thanks for the quick reply. You should be watching the football.

Hi Nick,

No problem for the quick reply. Football’s not really my thing (unless Wales are playing ;))

I’ve taken another look this morning, and I’ve managed to replicate the issue.

I’ve logged this with our development team to take a look. Will update you shortly.

In the mean time, I’ve edited your purchase invoice to show this correctly.

[Edit]
@tc5440 - Just a quick update to let you know this should now be fixed. Can you give it a go and let me know if that works all OK for you please?

Hi, this problem seems to have returned. Now it is re-ordering items after the first save/view and then after correcting they seem to stay OK.
Also, would the option of dragging to re-order be possible? It would save re-writing lines and, would the option of having quantities on purchase invoices be possible as this is available on POs but is lost when converting to a purchase invoice?
Sorry for the 3 in 1.
Cheers

Hi @tc5440,

I believe unlike the sales invoices, the actual position of the rows isn’t saved, so it just goes down to save order.

@tc5440

option of having quantities

This isn’t possible at the moment but there is a feature request for it: Purchase Invoices - Quantity Field

@tc5440

option of dragging to re-order

This also isn’t possible at the moment but you’re welcome to start a feature request thread for this.

This also isn’t possible at the moment but you’re welcome to start a feature request thread for this.

Apparently a planned feature already (although the feature thread is locked so you can’t vote on it).

Line order - purchase orders

Hi, Something has changed with the line order of the purchase orders, now if i write out a PO, save and go back and change it even though I can + the line I want it automatically moves to the bottom once it saves. Is there a way for me to choose the order? Please see attached pictures which hopefully show what is happening: Image 1) In editor mode - dates in order Image 2) Once edits have been saved, added line moved to the bottom! 42|444x199 [58]

Hi @Lurch,

Yes there is that one for Purchase orders but @tc5440 was requesting for Purchase Invoices

[Lurch]

Correct but they should probably be done as a whole anyway. There are quite a few requests for changes to purchase invoices/orders that can/do apply to both and would probably be done as one if they are ever implemented.
