How do define how Purchase Orders are numbered?

The settings for Order Number generation is defined against the Purchase Types records.  Go into Purchasing>Settings>Purchase Types and you can define if you want Automatic or Manual Order Numbers.

 

If 'Manual' is selected then you are required to type in a unique Purchase Order number every time you create a new order.  Ostendo will ensure that duplicate Purchase Order Numbers are not used

 

If 'Automatic' is selected then a generated number will be created that comprises of two parts:

-  The first part is an Order Prefix.  This is an optional requirement that can be up to 5 characters in length (For Example PO-, ORD, etc).

-  The second part is automatically generated by Ostendo.  You can define the start number in File>System Configuration>System Settings then click on the 'System Numbering' tab.
