I created a template without the po number. I used an "other" field to enter a standing po number. However, it is still assigning a po number in sequence, just not showing it in the actual template. When I enter a bill, the pop up screen opens with the OPEN PURCHASE ORDERS, so I can choose which po to receive against. In this screen it shows the assigned po number. So it's still automatically entering the po number in sequence, it just doesn't show it on the template. The problem is that I have various po numbers used in our procedure. They are numbered this way, (employee initials, pre printed number). So as you can see, if it assigns a po number in sequence, it could pick up any of the last employee's pos and add a number, which could be a po they just haven't written yet. I need to be in control of the purchase order numbers because I use the number the employee hands in on paper. Attached shows the po # I need it to remain, the column shows the po # QB assigned. The assigned number is for another po that just hasn't been entered yet. I don't want to enter 52 purchase orders forcing the po number. And I already tried one po and used the grid to enter 52 dates, but when I receive one date, I have to zero out all the other dates. And there were a few purchase orders that somehow ended up closed when I tried that procedure. Any other ideas?
