How to enter a Purchase order

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 20

I'm trying to enter a purchase order in 365 - Business Central - but it keeps asking for the Vendor's Invoice number.  

How would I have an invoice number when I am just creating a Purchase order.

    AFAIK it will not ask at the time of creation but it is required while invoicing the order.

    In "Purchase & Payable Setup", untick  (FALSE)  "External Doc. No. Mandatory"
