How can I number the lines of a Purchase Order (PO) sequentially in NetSuite without using SuiteScript? I want the lines to be numbered starting from 1, so if a PO has 27 lines, line 1 should have ID 1, line 2 should have ID 2, and so on. The numbering should happen automatically when the PO is created or updated

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To number the lines of a Purchase Order (PO) sequentially in NetSuite without using SuiteScript, you can use a custom column field. Here are the steps: 1. Create a custom column field. Go to

Customization > Lists, Records, & Fields > Transaction Line Fields > New

. 2. In the Label field, enter a name for the field, for example, "Line Number". 3. Set the Type to

Free-Form Text

. 4. In the Applies To section, select

Sale Item

and

Purchase Item

. 5. In the Display section, set the Display Type to

Normal

and check the

Store Value

box. 6. In the Validation & Defaulting section, set the Default Value to

{line}

. This is a placeholder that NetSuite will replace with the actual line number. 7. Save the field. Now, when you create or update a PO, NetSuite will automatically number the lines starting from 1. If a PO has 27 lines, line 1 will have ID 1, line 2 will have ID 2, and so on. Please note that this solution assumes that the lines on your PO are not reordered after they are created. If lines are added, removed, or reordered, the line numbers may not be sequential. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
