Currently, when a Sales Part is created, it is automatically defaulting to a Sourcing Option of Inventory Order. We are using a the Sales Part Counter (Event Action) to generate a new Sales Part number, and even when the team sets the Sourcing Option to Shop Order, once the Part Counter gives them the new number and they place it into the Sales Part Number field, the Sourcing Option reverts back to Inventory Order, and they have to change it again to Shop Order. Is there a way to set the default for our Sales Parts to Shop Order instead of Inventory Order?

I tried with the Sourcing option - Use Sourcing rule and with the sourcing rule defined for Shop order. But, as soon as we enter a new sales part number that triggers validation, it causes a change in the entered sourcing option. The value will remain if we can enter the sourcing option after that validation triggering action.

Piyal Perera, thank you for the response. So, if I understand you correctly, there is no way to update this Sourcing Option to default to a different value so that it automatically defaults to this other value. Is that correct?

After saving:
Changing the default value is not configurable. Normally, most screens have a function called Get_Defaults → and inside the function these values are hardcoded → so you would need a small modification of the get_defaults function if you want the default value of the sourcing option to change to Shop Order instead of Inventory Order.

Yes. No direct solution. But, there are two options if possible:
- The value will remain if we can enter the sourcing option after that validation triggering action. So, we can enter generated part no first, then enter sourcing option.
- As Marcel explained above
