How to Chang Purchase Order Number and Keep Number Sequence

Hello, 

 

When making a purchase order we have changed the PO number to 2024-101. 

When I go back to create a purchase order the number is: 2023-102

I then change to 2024-102. 

The next time I go to make a purchase order it is 2023-103. 

 

How do I get it to keep the sequence, correctly?

Thank you!

How to Chang Purchase Order Number and Keep Number Sequence

Hello there, AlexisR. I'd be glad to help you with your concern. 

 

To keep your purchase number sequence in order, we can use the actions I'll mention below to resolve this. This way, it can help us figure out what caused this issue.

 

  • Logging in and out of your account.
  • Turn off and on the PO custom transaction number.

 

Furthermore, if you've done the steps mentioned and the issue persists. I recommend using your incognito when working with your QuickBooks Online account. It can help your computer run optimally and regain some storage space to continue working seamlessly. 

 

See these keyboard shortcuts to open a private window:

 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Safari: Command + Option + P

 

Also, you can try clearing your browser cache and use a supported browser so you can take advantage of QBO's full potential.

 

You can refer to this article if you want to add an accepted purchase order to a transaction for your vendor: Add purchase orders to expenses, bills, or checks in QuickBooks Online.

 

I'm all ears if you have further questions about sequencing your purchase order number in QBO. I'm just one reply away.
