Custom PO numbering/sequences for Vendors

It would be great to see customized PO numbers. Currently the system is using a sequential system but having a custom option would allow for us to stay inline with our established system. It would also be nice to be able to at least set the starting PO number as migrating from to Breww has caused our POs to have to start back at 1 and has caused some confusion with our Vendors (using the Vendor Ref has also caused confusion as they are looking for a quote they previous sent).

Thanks for the suggestion of custom number sequences for POs, James. This is a great idea and I’m sure will pick up votes :+1: It could work in a similar way to invoice/credit note number sequences.

This part can be done already. Simply edit your latest PO’s number to be the number that you want (e.g. bump it to 1000) and then the next PO you generate after this will be 1001, the next 1002, etc. Each time you generate a PO, Breww will take the highest existing number and add one :+1:

Wait I can edit the PO number? How do I do this, I have been trying to figure a solution for awhile now.

Following your question, James, we realised that there was a situation that could lead to this edit button not showing when it should do; I’m sorry!

We’ve resolved this now, so you should see the button now, even if you didn’t before. The screenshot below shows where this button should be:

Cheers!

Hi Luke, I am trying to start our new purchase order numbers at 1001, we are getting an error as shown here:

I have added this as a support ticket.

Thanks, Simon. I’ll let the support team get back to you on your ticket as that’s a better channel for support than here. Cheers.
