What happens if the purchase order numbering system is not set for a branch?

In Tradogram, PO numbers are typically generated automatically based on a predefined sequence. However, if a branch has not configured an automatic numbering system, the "PO Number" field will remain blank upon creation.

While a missing number does not prevent you from working on the document, it can make tracking and communication with suppliers difficult.

Manually Assigning a PO Number

If your branch is not set up for automatic numbering, or if you need to override the system for a specific transaction, you can manually assign a number:

  1. Open the PO: Locate and open the purchase order that is missing a number.
  2. Enter Edit Mode: Click the Edit (pencil) icon at the top of the page.
  1. Configure the Identity: You will see two specific fields used to identify the document:
    • Prefix: This is a required field. You can include letters, numbers, or symbols (e.g., TG2026- or DEPT-).
    • Number: This field is restricted to numbers only. Enter the specific sequence number you wish to assign (e.g., 1001).
