The program uses the outbound purchase document line to temporarily store purchase document line information, which is used in purchase documents that you send electronically to various business partners. This line information is used in two documents: the BizTalk request for purchase quote and the BizTalk purchase order.
Thus, the outbound purchase document line is used as a read-only viewer from which you can send and view specific data on items on outbound BizTalk purchase documents. The outbound purchase documents that are stored here are either unsent, sent or processing.
A purchase document is outbound if it is sent from you to one of your business partners.
The outbound purchase document line contains relevant information (such as item number, quantity and price) about the items you want to purchase. Amounts on the purchase lines are in the local currency unless the field name indicates that the amount is in another currency. The source currency is the currency represented by the currency code on the purchase header.
The outbound purchase document line is related to the Outbound Purch. Document Hdr. table. The outbound purchase document header contains all the relevant information about the buy-from and pay-to vendors, such as name, address, document number and date. It has four tabs: General, Invoicing, Shipping, and BizTalk. These tabs contain information about the buy-from vendor, pay-to vendor, shipments and relevant BizTalk details. The program retrieves most of this information automatically from the Vendor table when the Buy-from Vendor No. and Pay-to Vendor No. fields are filled in.
When sending, and subsequently converting, a Navision purchase document into a BizTalk purchase document, information that is contained in the Navision Purchase Header table is stored in the Outbound Purch. Document Hdr. table. Information that is contained in the Navision Purchase Line table is stored in the outbound purchase document line. The outbound purchase document header and the outbound purchase document lines are related in the same way as Navision purchase header and purchase lines are related.
The outbound purchase document line is read-only. This means that it is not possible to change or enter anything in the outbound purchase document line. If you want to make any changes to this table, you must make them before the Navision purchase documents are transformed into BizTalk purchase documents.
This is also why there is no Help for most of the fields in the outbound purchase document line. If you need Help or information about any of the fields in this table without Help, see the Help for the corresponding field in the Purchase Line table.
