Line Items Grid Tab of Purchase Orders

Use the Line Items tab to enter and edit the line items that make up a purchase order or change order.

Before you can submit a purchase order, it must have at least one line item in this grid.

To use a change order, you enter a new row of data to change the original data in a purchase order. You cannot edit the data in the original purchase order. This process keeps an audit trail of all of the changes that are made to a purchase order.

When the Inventory feature is enabled, this grid displays additional fields.

Line Items Grid Fields

Field	Description
C/O	If a line item is for a change order, this field displays the change order number for the line item after you save the change order. Change order numbers are assigned automatically, starting with number 1 for the first change order entered, number 2 for the next change order entered, and so on. This field is blank for purchase order line items.
Seq	This field prefills with the sequence number of a line item in a purchase order or change order. For example, when you enter a purchase order, the Seq field prefills with 1 for the first line item that you enter, 2 for the second line item that you enter, and so on. Likewise, when you enter a change order, the Seq field prefills with 1 for the first line item of the change order, 2 for the second line item of the change order, and so on. On the change order that you print, the change order number and sequence number display in the Seq column using the following format: C/O <change order number> - <seq number>. Example: Change order number 1 has two change order line items. When you print the change order: The Seq column for the first line item displays C/O 1 - 1. The Seq column for the second line item displays C/O 1 - 2.

This changes the category only for the line item in the purchase order, not the category that is set up for the item in Items Master configuration.
