System Assigned PO # (B76)

Purpose: Use this screen to define whether you want the system to assign purchase order numbers, or if purchase order numbers must be entered manually when a purchase order is created.

Yes/No field: If you select this field, the system will assign purchase order numbers during Entering Purchase Orders (MPOE). If you are using system-assigned purchase order numbers, you must define the Last Number, Starting Number, and Ending Number for purchase order numbers in the Number Assignment table; see Setting Up the Number Assignment Table (WNUM).

If you leave this field unselected, purchase order numbers can be entered manually (for example, if your company has preprinted purchase orders or if you internally assign purchase order numbers).
