Allow up to a 10 character vendor PO#?

(ID# 8857) Set this Purchasing option in Options Configuration to Yes if you want to allow up to a 10-character PO number in Purchasing and Receiving for Windows. Leave the default of No to restrict the PO number to no more than 5 characters.

If this option is set to Yes, access to most legacy Purchasing and Receiving functions through Network Access will not be allowed. These include: MPO, RP, MRV, BPO, CPO, and the reports RSO, RPO, RRP, ROF, RRP, and RRV.

Note for EDI users: The PO transmission file layout for EDI does not allow for a PO number that is greater than 5 characters; therefore, when creating PO’s which you'll transmit with EDI, your PO number should be 5 characters or less.

Note for Advantage/Generic ERP users: The ERP transmission file layout does not allow for a PO number that is greater than 5 characters; therefore, if your vendor’s ERP data includes your original PO number, make sure to only create POs that are 5 characters or less for that vendor.
