GETTING PO #'S TO CONTINUE AFTER YOU EXIT OUT OF PEACHTREE

Good morning everyone,

I'm a fairly new peachtree user, and one of my new responsibilities is purchasing. I have to keep a seperate PO log in excel because everytime I exit out of peachtree then I go back in the next day when I create a new PO the PO number isn't there anymore, all systems I've used in teh past will just give you the next PO number whether you exit out or not. Is there a way to make the PO number stick so I don't have to keep a seperate log?

Let me know.

Thanks!

Cheryl
