Specifying a Purchase Order Number

When you're placing an order, you can enter a short or a long purchase order number in the Purchase Order # boxes.

Note: If the customer has a purchase order number set in the P/O# box in the Customer Buyers/Manifest tab, the second Purchase Order # box defaults to display the extended purchase order number.

In the first box, enter a short P/O number of up to ten alphanumeric characters.
In the second box, you can enter a long P/O number of up to 30 alphanumeric characters. The long purchase order number you enter appears as a AAAA special line on the customer's order and prints above the first line on the pick ticket.

Note: If the customer does not require purchase orders, or a purchase order is not available, you may want to enter the name of the person placing the order in the second Purchase Order # box.

You can enter a purchase order number at any time while placing an order. If you enter a different number, it overwrites the one currently assigned to the order.

Note: You can assign a default purchase order number. This number displays in the second Purchase Order # box each time you make a new order for the customer. To assign the number, go to the Customer Buyers/Manifest tab, and enter the number in the P/O # box. If you set up a default purchase order number and change it when placing an order, a record of the change is saved in the EXCEPTIONS file.
