Purchase Order Requisition Prefix

Enter the default prefix to be used for PO requisition numbers.

EXAMPLE: If you enter UX in the PO Req Prefix field, the default PO Requisition numbers used at this site will be UX00000001, UX00000002, UX00000003 , etc. If you do not enter a value in the PO Req Prefix field, the default purchase order numbers used at this site will be 1, 2, 3, etc. Consider choosing prefixes of three letters or less, since the total PO number length (prefix and digits) is ten characters. Larger prefixes reduce the range of PO numbers available to you.

A prefix can consist of numeric and non-numeric (letters and symbols) characters. However, the prefix should end with an alphabetic character to ensure that the system increments PO requisition numbers correctly.

Once a prefix is added, this prefix will not affect any existing purchase order numbers or drop ship numbers.

When entering PO Requisition numbers in the system, you may overwrite this prefix.
