First Number for Purchase Orders 2 - The Sequel

[former_member594505]

Hello:

I never received an answer to my follow up question, on this topic, so I'm reposting. 🙂

In SAP Business One's Series - Purchase Orders - Setup window, I placed "VT" as the Prefix for purchase order numbers. This is a brand new company. So, no purchase orders have been created, yet.

I, also, placed "900" as the first and next number. I did all of this, because the client wants "VT900" as the beginning number for purchase orders.

When I open the purchase order window, 900-0 shows in the upper right-hand corner for the purchase order - not VT900. How do I allow for "VT" to show?

Secondly, is setting "900" as the number going to mean that purchase order numbers are going to stop generating after "VT999"? Just in case, I did ask the client if they would like additional numbering after "VT900".

How difficult or cumbersome is it to create and use a new purchasing series name such as "VT" instead of "Default"?

Thanks!

John

In crystal report you can use prefix 'VT' from document numbering series and also you can assign series name 'VT' will be shown on document but it should be unique for that document for each series. For eg. You can write like this 'VT2019', VT0202' FY wise or may be different reference.

Yes, In Layout Printing you can take your series name and your document no.

Also you can set default series for user in Document numbering so when user open that document he will see default series and if he want to change series then he can do that also.

Hope, this will resolved your issue.

Thank you, Dinesh!

Is there a way of having the "VT" prefix show to the user, upon either creating or printing the Purchase Order?

Dear John Ellis,

Happy new Year . . !!!

Firstly the Prefix which you are creating in the numbering series is showing in series selection in Purchase order.

Since the document number field is a "Int" value the system won't show you like "string" value - "VT900", and the VT900-"0" which is coming in the seperate field showing us the split purchase order number.

Secondly, Just because your document number starting from 900 the system wont stop at 999 it will keep creating the sequence number.

If you need a additional series for the same document try creating a another series without over lapping the first series number.

Ex:

Series 1 :- Name "VT" first No "900" Next number "901" Last No "10000" Prefix "VT"

Series 2 :- Name "Default" first No "10001" Next number "10002" Last No "99999" Prefix "Default"

The user can able to select any one of this series while creating purchase order.
