Good morning, all! I am working with a saved search on sales orders, I would like to exclude any sales orders that have a drop ship or special PO on them. What field do I use for this? I tried purchase order is none, special order is none, but orders with a dropship PO still populated. I must just be missing which field it is. Thanks a ton!

The first idea is to do something like this: Applying Transaction : Type any of "Purchase Order" But I think that would only exclude the transaction lines that have those, not the whole Sales Order. So I think we have to build on that idea some more to get it to work more like the "Item on Any Line" filter. I can't think of how to do it off the top of my head, but I think I've done it before. Hopefully someone who knows will come along and beat me to getting the explanation to you. I'm thinking you might have to do something clever with a formula in the Summary criteria.

Thanks so much! I appreciate it - I feel like I have done it before but at a previous company so I have no access lol!
I am trying to think out of the box on this one, if I could uncheck a box on the SO once the drop ship is complete I could bypass having to access that field on a saved search. Any ideas on how to do that?

How do you tell when a drop ship is complete? Is it when the associated Sales Order line's Quantity = its Fulfilled Quantity?
Or do you just mean when it has any drop ship PO on any of its lines? Yes that could work to check/uncheck a box when a PO gets created, maybe via a workflow.
That will work as long as the dropship PO isn't added by CSV import somehow (with the scripts and workflows checkbox turned off on the importer)

For this process I am considering the dropship complete when the dropship PO is created. At the workflow level I am also having trouble accessing that field. I believe the problem is that it doesn't effect "all lines" it effects only the item line fields, but not the shipping and tax lines. I believe thats the issue I am running into.
I just wanted to provide a quick update! Once I thought this through a little further, I remembered I could exclude tax and shipping lines, once I did this, my saved search worked like a dream! I was able to set the purchase order line is -none-. Thanks for talking this through with me!!
