Purchase Order Numbering

Hello,

I still don't understand how this works? into the PO numbering system. i.e... our PO's are numbered automatically, example -GY-PO-007000 but we assign them to a job card that we enter the number for manually example 1870. When I raise the PO I want the number to display 007000-1870. So whatever job the PO is being assigned to it will automatically insert it on the end of the PO number. Can you please advise how this is done?

We work by Job number in our stores/good inns & workshop. If this can be displayed as part of the PO number when it is printed out then the goods can be identified on the delivery note - as this is what the supplier will input. I have looked as setting up a number series relationship with the PO numbers series and the job card series but it doesn't appear to do what I need it to.

Many Thanks

Lynsey

I do not recommend to modify manually internal numbers of PO, assigned by NAV. It will lead to errors sooner or later. If you want to track them by supplier's number, there is External Document number in PO header. It will be transferred to a posted document as well.

You can always use the manual No. Series (Instead of automatic) for PO in this case. This would meet your requirement.

Hi,

You may use manual number series for the Purchase Orders, so that you can number them based on your requirement or you may need to add a new field to store the reference number and display it on the Purchase Order document.
