Question
How can I move product sequence with in my purchase template ounce created to fall in the same sequence of the storeroom
Hi Ed Tebo
Unfortunately once you've added products into the Template Products section of the Template, the only way to re-sequence them is to remove them from the lower panel named Template Products using the Up arrow, double clicking on the product or Ctrl + A to select all products, and re-add them in the required sequence,
However, if you print the Template, it will show in the same sequence as that of the sequence setup through Inventory > Maintain Guides,
Best,
