Using Names, ie ALPHA as Purchase Order Numbers

I think you can use the alpha on PO number only in prefix.. the manager found the next po number using the right chars of PO number.

I was not aware of any such restriction and so have been using a three digit alpha suffix for 4-5 years now.

No problems that I am aware of. I do not use Headquarters.

We use HQ and our PO #s look like this:

S1234AB

Where S = First Letter of Store Location and AB = Purchaser Initials

We have had problems with deliveries being shipped to the wrong destination and now if a shipper calls with an unexpected delivery notification we can ask for a PO# and readily identify the correct destination.

No problems in RMS so far as I know.
