The rownumber is very costly on a large table,The Order By can be By Cost_Center_Code, Payment_Code, Inv_No
Thanks
You are going to have to use RowNumber somewhere along the way to know which row is previous. Maybe you should try it before you simply refuse it. Unless you are numbering the entire table it really is not a big deal.
From what I am interpreting you would want to partition by Cost_Center_Code, Payment_Code, Inv_No and Order by Payment_Code.
