The Purchase Order field allows for 10 characters by default in the Purchase Order Maintenance. If I try and set the Auto Numbering using the Last PO Number in the PO Setup, only 6 characters are available. How can I set the last PO number to use all 10 characters?

RE: PO NUMBERING SETUP

Hi,

The only way that you can do that, is changing the Mask property of every screen that has the purchase order field to 10 characters. Example: UUUUUUUUUU.

Try this:

Change the customization level to all users.

Open PO Setup screen, and select customize mode.

Change the MASK option of the Last PO Number field to 9999999999

Save the customization and close the screen

Open again the screen and change the last por number.

Do the steps 3 and 4 on every screen that use the PO Number.

Regards.
