    // Insert invoice line or credit memo line
  • Between the line above and right before the following line:

    PurchInvLine.INSERT
  • Add the following code:

    //-------------------
    IF (PurchLine." Receipt No." < > '') THEN
    BEGIN
       PurchInvLine." Posted Purch. Rcpt. Line No." := PurchLine." Receipt No."
    END;
    //-------------------
  • Close the form, save and compile.
