How to find the line number of an item on a Microsoft Dynamics GP document - Part 1

One of the questions that most often come up in newsgroups and at client sites is, "how can I find the line number of an item on a *document*?", you can replace the word *document* for anything from a sales order, sales invoice all the way to a purchase order, purchase receipt, or invoicing invoice -- and pretty much any other thing you can think of.

The bottom line is, while Dynamics GP creates a line sequence number for every item entered in a scrolling window -- click here to see my past article on line sequence numbers and scrolling windows -- it is not very good at aiding users and/or developers in tracking the true ordinal value (1, 2, 3,.., n) of an item within the set of items on a document. So, I decided to give you a push by creating several T-SQL scripts that will help you identify these ordinal values. You can then take these same scripts and convert it into a SQL Server UDFs or stored procedures and call them from VBA or Dexterity if needed. I will also provide an example on these two techniques in Part 2 of this series.

So here are the scripts:

NOTE: I am a big fan of SQL Server Common Table Expressions (CTE) and use those as often as I can to simplify my queries and avoid the use of subqueries. In addition, they tend to produce better query execution plans which translate into performance gains.

Please stay tuned! Part 2 of this series will show you how to take advantage of these queries from Dexterity and VBA.
