Does anyone know how I could create a unique Purchase Order Reference for the Invoice forms within my 

Dynamics CRM Online 2016 instance?

    Hi Hayley

    I would look at using an Auto Numbering solution like crm2015autonumber.codeplex.com

    Or you can create an entity that holds PO Reference

    Then have a workflow that pulls through the last number that was used to the PO

    Then the last step in the workflow is to increment the PO Reference entity by 1

    That means it will use the next number each time

    Hi, Mark

    I have downloaded the CRM2015/16 Auto number Solution. How does it work? Do you open it in a specific application or import it into the Dynamics production instance?

    If I was to do the second option, could you please give me further explanation. For example; i understand the workflow process but how would I first create unique numbers which I would store in an entity called 'PO Reference'

    Thanks

    Hayley
