Hello, @bjame08. Thank you for the additional information about your concern about managing purchase order numbers in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). We're glad to help you fix it and make it in sequence.
We understand the importance of keeping track of your purchase orders in our program without any challenges. Let's work together and find out what's preventing the system from following the new PO number pattern.
Are you editing an existing PO with the new number format? If so, it won't take place on an already-entered purchase order. We'll need to create a new PO with the new number you want to start with and save it. The next purchase orders would follow the sequence.
If you need more details about managing your purchase orders and how to track them, Here's an article for you: Create purchase orders in QuickBooks Desktop.
