Solving the LineItem Issue in SQL with Proper Grouping of OrderLine Elements
Solving the LineItem Issue The issue arises from the fact that FOR XML PATH ('LineItem') is not properly grouping the OrderLine elements. By adding a prefix to each alias, we can correctly group them into the desired hierarchy. Original Code ( SELECT EDPNO AS "BuyerPartNumber", VENDORNO AS "VendorPartNumber", POQTY AS "OrderQty", 'EA' AS "OrderQtyUOM", ACTUALCOST AS "PurchasePrice" FROM [ECOMLIVE].[dbo].[PODETAILS] WHERE PONUMBER = 100203130 FOR XML PATH ('OrderLine'), TYPE ) Modified Code ( SELECT EDPNO AS "OrderLine/BuyerPartNumber", VENDORNO AS "OrderLine/VendorPartNumber", POQTY AS "OrderLine/OrderQty", 'EA' AS "OrderLine/OrderQtyUOM", ACTUALCOST AS "OrderLine/PurchasePrice" FROM [ECOMLIVE].
