Creating PO codes

The PO code is used in addition to the standard purchase order numbering to identify purchase orders.

PO codes help to avoid duplicate purchase order numbers. If you use an alpha identifier code, then PO codes indicate ownership of a purchase order on printed documents. To determine who has created the purchase order, you can set up PO codes with alpha identifiers to identify the location that has created the purchase order. Examples are Lab1, Lab2, Lab3.
