"Tell" SQL to always use a full table scan for those indexes that need it. Do that by running this one time at your convenience:

Grant the user the db_datareader and db_datawriter roles, etc., using the commands below. You can ignore any errors except those dealing with the user's name:

Summing case statements instead of doing a PIVOT, is referred to as a cross tab.
Exactly. I used a CASE in a SUM but not instead of a PIVOT, so...

You're likely wasting resources by using a CROSS JOIN. Just do a standard INNER JOIN using the LIKE comparison as the join condition.

SQL Server does not automatically determine a row sequence, so you'll need a column in Table B that provides an order, such as an date_inserted or a $IDENTITY column. For...

The easiest way to rebuild all indexes on a table is:
ALTER INDEX ALL ON dbo.POHeader REBUILD
