    Josh,

    This is a company preference. When I train customers, I teach that the External Document No. = Purchase Order No. from the Customer. The Your Reference field I tell users to enter is an internal reference or information that needs to be entered, like an Important notation.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Hi Josh,

    In my case I always put the customer information in External document no. if there is any invoice or any quote no. so that I can refer it later, and as the name suggest Your reference field, it can have the values for your information purpose.

    Hope it will help you.
