Each Purchase Order has its own unique identifying number, based on a sequential series. When you enter a new Purchase Order, the next number in the series will be used. If required, you can have a number of such sequences running concurrently, perhaps representing different years, different departments or different order types.

Use this setting to define these sequences, or Number Series. The different series should not overlap. If you leave the setting empty, Purchase Order Numbers will start at 1 and continue consecutively.

When you enter a Purchase Order, the next number in the first valid Number Series in this setting will be used as a default; change to the next number in any other Number Series using 'Paste Special'.

When you double-click 'Number Series - Purchase Orders' in the 'Settings' list, the following window appears:

Enter each new Number Series on the first blank line. The Comment will be shown in the 'Paste Special' list, so enter some text that will help you choose a number from the correct sequence. Then, click the [Save] button in the Button Bar to save the changes. To close the window without saving changes, click the close box.

The N/L field common to all Number Series settings is not used in this instance.
