I have a Sales Order with two lines. Customer wants to use a different PO for each line. How can this be done without creating two new Sales Orders?
The PO Number is held at the OrderHed table level, so without customisation you can’t.
Is there a reason you can’t have 2 SOs?
If the PO numbers are short enough, put them both in at header level with (L1) and (L2)? Depends how fussy the people behind the reason for your question are.
Yeah you would think that two separate orders would be appropriate since they are two separate purchase orders.
We have the same issue. Our customers sometime give a blanket order and then issue a PO for each release. For this purpose we put the PO number on the reference field of the Release and put “BLANKET” in the Header PO field.
We further modified our reports, like Packing slip and invoice to print the PO number from the release reference in the appropriate places. This has worked for us so far.

I’m sorry but I would create a new sales order for the new PO and reduce the blanket. This way you have no issues and when the blanket is consumed, delete the SO for the blanket or change the SO with the final PO information.
It seems like it’s more work but it does reduce the need for customization.
I would enter as two orders and combine them during shipping.
