Mr. Evans gave you the technical answer re where to store a "line item PO#" if you want. In the real world however, just about everybody thinks in terms of "one PO = one sales order = one invoice" and this thinking permeates the design of any electronic documents used for implementation. I have several clients' partners who want a PO number in the line item IT1 segment , but so far at least that has always been the same as the PO number in the BIG segment because that's the way invoices are generated by the ERP system: one customer PO = one sales order = one invoice. OTOH..."Pick and Pack" ASNs (S[-o]-P-I) will often use line item PO numbers (using segment PRF @ Loop HL/Item) because it does occur that parts from multiple customer POs are packed in the same box. But you are the buyer: if processing one invoice for multiple POs is good for you, then by all means accept your vendor's suggestion. If it isn't, don't. Buyer-Seller = trading *PARTNERS* Michael C.
