Each new Purchase Order (PO) will automatically be assigned a unique number starting from the 'Purchase Order Start Count.' Unless a specific Purchase Order number is manually entered during creation, the system will generate a sequential PO number beginning from this set value.

  1. Navigate to the Settings section

  2. Then click on the Purchase Order Module

  3. Enter in your desired Purchase Order Start Count


How to Set Your Purchase Order Number While Creating Purchase Order

When creating a new Purchase Order, you can manually set a specific Purchase Order number, which can be alphanumeric—meaning it can include both letters and numbers. This flexibility allows you to create a custom numbering sequence that suits your needs. If you don’t set a number, the system will automatically generate one based on the Purchase Order Start Count.

  1. Navigate to the Purchase Order Module

  2. Select Create Purchase Order

  3. Enter in your desired in PO Number
