And this is currently accommodated at the line level, where every invoice line can be associated with an order line in any purchase order.

Interesting ... so the association is at the header level, which matches Roberto's requirement.

Of course the process is optional ... but the line items were designed to, at the least, support the relationship.

Thank you for your input!
