Company send purchase orders, obviously with a purchase order no. to a vendor, and at acknowledgement from the vendor, sets the “Vendor Order No. “ and before receipt “Vendor Shipment No. on the purchase header.
At return to the vendor the Vendor must know which order no. and his document no’s for reference.



Scennario:
1. First create a new purchase order:
a. Set Vendor Order No. and Vendor Shipment No. in the purchase header before post the receipt.
b. Post the receipt
2. Create a new purchase invoice
a. Set “Vendor Invoice No.
b. Line; Functions; Get Receipt Lines
c. Post the purchase invoice
3. Create a new purchase return order
a. Process Return documents to reverse
b. Set Document Type filter “Posted Receipt”
c. Select the document No.
d. Print the return order
e. Post and print the shipment

At step 2.b.:
- A line is added with Comment “Ontvangst. 107211” is automatically inserted. The word “Ontvangst” is a Dutch word for Receipt. The posted Purchase invoice is normally an internal document and will not be send to the vendor.
At step 3.c.:
- A line is added with Comment “Ontvangst. 107211” is automatically inserted. The word “Ontvangst” is a Dutch word for Receipt.
- At step 3.D.: the print shows an internal receipt no. which is not usefull for the vendor.
- Useful information for the vendor would be: The related purchase order no, and if setup: Vendor Order No. or Vendor Shipment No.

Scenario 2: Purchase Return Order, get posted invoice document
Similar scenario but get posted purchase invoice:
2 comments lines are inserted; both with internal information and the invoice no. (factuurnr.) is mentioned 2 times.

There could be more places in Business Central were information for the receiver is not getting information useful for his own application/process.
