Hi Uday,

This is out of the box not possible. There is only one number sequence which can be setup per LE. You could customize to achieve this, but.... what's in a number? There are possibilities to filter the data based on the business unit.

Hello Uday Shetty,

This would require an adjustment. Tipp: Search this forum as similar questions have already been asked before. If I remember it correctly several people already provided some sample code how this can be realized.

All the best,

Ludwig

Hello All,

Based on this below article from TechNet, it seems like you could specify a "scope" for your Number Sequence. And the Scope could be your Company, LE or Operating Unit. So I guess we can have how many ever different number sequences for PO number, for all the different BUs.

Uday - I would assume your "Business Unit" would fall under either of these 3 scopes above.

Andre - Our company has similar requirement where they do not want to filter based on the Business Unit information. Apparently, when invoices come out, they see the paper print-out and look at the PO number. Based on the Prefix of the PO Number (each prefix represents a Site actually), they know where to route it to.

Thanks,

Ray.

Hello Lally,

Sorry I forgot to post the TechNet link. Here it is. Please follow the explanation about how to use "Scope" option and see if it works in your case, to implement in your scenario.

Hi Uday,

You may try using Number sequence groups functionality. But you will have to create a number sequence and a number sequence group for each business unit and select the appropriate group before confirming the order.

this way you need not customize anything.

thanks,

Manish

I tried this. But in the number sequence form, reference section, I am able to select area as 'Purchase' but reference dropdown does not show 'Purchase Order'. In fact it shows blank. Therefore I am not able to use this code for my purchase order sequence number. Any reason for this ?

While creating the number sequence you must add the reference tab record as "Purchase order". This will make it's identity attached to Purchase order numbersequence.

Hi Lally,

My mistake I read it as Purchase order documents initially.

If this needs to be done for PO number sequence. You will have to pass the Numbersequence group while the PO Creation form is opening. Just in a small Dialog as customization, where you can select the NumberSequence group.
