Purchase order number not ending with -001 and so on, even though it was created within a project

Problem

Sometimes, a PO number does not end with -001 or continue in sequence. This happens even when the PO is created within a project.

Solution

Purchase order number not ending with -001 and so on, even though it was created within a project

If a PO is only linked to the project and not a specific Job, it won't follow the -001 sequence. Here is how to associate the PO with a job.

1. In the main navigation bar, click Purchasing or Inventory.

2. In the left side menu, click on Purchase Orders

3. Locate the PO in the applicable tab: Pending, Sent, Partially Received, Received, Canceled

4. Click on the hyperlink in the PO. No. column to view the PO details

5. Click on the Actions dropdown and then select Edit

6. In the Job # field, select the appropriate job

7. Click Save
