You can change the order of lines in an invoice and other sales and purchase documents by dragging and dropping<\/strong>, moving any line to any position in the list in a single move instead of one step at a time. This guide explains how to reorder lines, which documents support it, and what does and doesn’t change afterwards.<\/p>\n

    Steps to reorder lines<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Open the document in create or edit mode, such as a New Invoice<\/strong><\/a> or a New Purchase Invoice<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li>\n
    2. Add the lines as usual. You need at least two lines for the drag handle to appear.<\/li>\n
    3. Hover over the line you want to move, and you’ll find the drag handle<\/strong> (the vertical dots icon \u22ee\u22ee) at the start of the line. Hovering over it shows the tooltip Drag to reorder<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    4. Click and hold the drag handle, then drag the line up or down to the position you want. An empty space shows where the line will be dropped.<\/li>\n
    5. Drop the line; it snaps into its new position immediately, and the other lines move automatically, without reloading the page.<\/li>\n
    6. Click Save<\/strong> to save the document with the new order.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n

      \ud83d\udec8<\/span><\/p>\n

      Tip:<\/strong> You don’t need to move a line one step at a time; you can drag it directly from the bottom of the list to the top, or to any position in between.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      Documents that support drag and drop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
      Section<\/th>\nDocuments<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
      Sales<\/strong><\/td>\nSales Invoice, Sales Order, Estimate, Refund Receipt, Credit Note.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      Purchases<\/strong><\/td>\nPurchase Invoice, Purchase Order, Purchase Refund, Debit Note, Purchase Request, Quotation Request, Purchase Quotation.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      Egypt accounts only<\/strong><\/td>\nReceipt.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      Saudi Arabia accounts only<\/strong><\/td>\nAdvance Payment Invoice.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

      What changes after reordering?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
      Item<\/th>\nWhat happens<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
      Line order<\/strong><\/td>\nThe new order is saved with the document, and it appears in that order when you view, print or send it.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      Line details<\/strong><\/td>\nThe line moves with all its details: the product, quantity, price, discount, tax, line notes, and the cost centers allocated to it.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      Line numbering<\/strong><\/td>\nNot affected; numbering stays sequential according to the displayed order.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      Totals<\/strong><\/td>\nDon’t change; the subtotal, discounts, taxes and total stay the same, because reordering doesn’t change line values.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

      Rules<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • Drag and drop is available only in the create or edit form; you can’t reorder lines from the document’s view page.<\/li>\n
      • If you leave the page without clicking Save<\/strong>, the new order isn’t saved.<\/li>\n
      • Drag and drop replaces the up and down arrows that moved a line one step at a time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        FAQ<\/h2>\n

        The drag handle doesn’t appear next to the line?<\/h3>\n

        Make sure the document is open in create or edit mode and has at least two lines, then hover over the start of the line.<\/p>\n

        Does the invoice value change after reordering the lines?<\/h3>\n

        No. Reordering changes only the position of the lines, and doesn’t affect quantities, prices, taxes or the total.<\/p>\n

        Does the new order appear on the printed invoice?<\/h3>\n

        Yes. After you click Save<\/strong>, the document appears in the new order when viewed, printed and sent.<\/p>\n

        Do cost centers move with the line?<\/h3>\n

        Yes. The cost centers allocated to a line move with it to its new position, and stay linked to it when you save.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":38,"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[2149,2193,2155,2194,2195,2189,2154,8087,2153],"tags":[17259,25015,4023,10428,25011,25016,25010,25014,25013,21677,16374,25009,25012,19282],"class_list":["post-151763","tutorial","type-tutorial","status-publish","hentry","category-invoices-and-estimates","category-purchase-requests","category-sales-invoice","category-quotation-requests","category-purchase-quotations","category-purchase-orders","category-estimates","category-sales-order","category-refund-receipts-credit-notes","tag-advance-payment-invoice","tag-change-line-item-order","tag-credit-note","tag-debit-note","tag-drag-and-drop","tag-drag-handle","tag-drag-to-reorder","tag-invoice-line-item-order","tag-purchase-invoice-line-items","tag-purchase-request-en","tag-quotation","tag-reorder-line-items","tag-sales-invoice-line-items","tag-sales-order"],"yoast_head":"\nReordering Invoice Line Items Using Drag and Drop - Daftra Knowledge Base<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.daftra.com\/en\/tutorial\/reordering-invoice-line-items-using-drag-and-drop\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Reordering Invoice Line Items Using Drag and Drop - Daftra Knowledge Base\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"You can change the order of lines in an invoice and other sales and purchase documents by dragging and dropping, moving any line to any position in the list in a single move instead of one step at a time.
