    Has anyone noticed on PO223 that columns DD and DE swap places randomly? We seem to have them swap every 2-3 months.

      Sometimes it's hard to make sense of how Lawson converts reports to csv. In this case I believe that whichever comment field has data to display first determines which column the data falls in. The data in the csv is displayed in this order: Buyer Code, Vendor Number, PO Number, PO Line Number. If the first PO (going down the rows) to have comments has header comments rather than line comments then HEAD-COMMENT will be in DD. But if the first PO to have comments has only line comments then LINE-COMMENT will be in DD. If all the POs in the report have only line comments there won't be a column for HEAD-COMMENT at all and likewise if all the comments are header comments.

        Thanks Jon. Hate to say it but it sort of makes sense.
