On purchase and sales orders using variant handling.

We have a function called create item variant master lines.

And this is basically a functionality to create the top level master line.

If you didn’t create the item or the variance out of that, this means in the stand tag way of entering the order, you would’ve entered the line selecting the style like this.

And after selecting the style, you would enter the style matrix or item variant order depending on your how you work.

So if we try to enter this one into some quantity, this might be a normal way of entering lines, either in the matrix view or in this one in the auto view.

But as you can see further up, I also have some variant lines here that doesn’t contain a comment line, a comment headline.

And this could be due to the fact that it came from, uh, outside of business central from a past solution or e-commerce solution or stuff like that.

So with the action create the master line, we can just create those hanging lines on top of it.

So if you look at the first bundle of lines up here, I have four lines with different quantities on.

And now when I select on the order, we create item variant master lines, it will just fill in lines before each group of master data.

So it now create those two lines for me, saying in the first bulk of variants, we had total variant quantity of 15.

In the second bolt here bulk, we have a total quantity of 12.

And you can also maintain the total quantity with this function.

So if you are changing quantity manually in here, in this case because it’s validated, it actually updates quantity.

But if you have functionality that doesn’t now can an error here, because I’m not allowed to change the quantity here.

If you have, uh, some functionality that doesn’t validate it in, you can update the function with this way of doing it.
