As pointed out they are two numbers in question have a very different meanings. The SO Number is internal to the company and seems to manager the status of SOs when SOs are copied to Invoices.
- The PO Number in question is external to the Company and must not be confused with Manager’s PO Tab. (which is an internal number to the company but similarly becomes the supplier’s external PO when the company purchases goods)
- Usually when engaging and Invoicing corporate businesses their Internal PO must appear on the Company’s outgoing invoices.
- I am hoping that this will be recognized as such which will allow SO Status not to be impacted.
