Sounds like a database description problem to me, Bret, trying to figure out 
what is related to which.  I take it that one lading number can be associated 
with several PO's, but is the relationship of each PO to description, units 
and kg weight 1:1?  If it is, then you might want to consider multiple 
tables, since the relationship of items within a single table really has to 
be 1:1.
You could have one table that has lading # and PO# as a compound key,
with a second table that has PO and the associated data,
with PO # as the key.
