PO Set Up Recurring Purchase Orders window
Use this window to set up purchase orders that recur. Setting up recurring purchase orders can streamline your ordering process. Once you set up the recurring orders and you are ready to reorder, you can generate all or some of the orders at one time. See
Generating Recurring Purchase Orders. You can also set up recurring orders at the same time you enter one through the
PO Enter Purchase Orders window.
Recurring PO#
This number auto-generates and does not reflect the actual purchase order number. This field displays the number of the recurring order, beginning with 0000001. This number automatically increments each time you create a new recurring order.
You can edit this number with any combination of up to 20 alphanumeric characters. If you edit this number and save the recurring order, the Recurring PO# field will increment to the next number in your scheme. For example, if you enter UTILITIES001 as your recurring number and save the order, the next number in the sequence is UTILITIES002. Keep in mind that for your orders to increment, you must end your numbering scheme with a numeric value.
