Follow the steps below:

1. On the **Order lines** tab:

    1. In the **Purchase order link** column, select one of the following options:

        + **Purchase to order**,
        + **Drop-shipment**.
    1. In the **Supplier** column, select the supplier which will supply the line item.
    1. In the **Supplier price** column, edit the automatically set price if necessary.

        > [!NOTE]
        > You can only edit the price if the **Override supplier price** check box is selected in the [Sales order preferences (SO101000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/sales/sales-windows/sales-order-preferences-so101000/index.md) window, the **General information** tab.
