Document #

The Document # is a unique identifier for the PR or PO and is required.

The Allow users to set document number on Purchase Orders property controls whether the system auto-generates the document number or allows user to set document number on Purchase Orders.

The options available include:

• Disabled - System will auto-generate the document number on the PO.
• Enabled - User will be required to set document number on the PO.
• Optional - User will have the option to either allow the system to auto-generate the document number or set the document number on the PO.

Document numbers have a maximum length of 15 characters and are case insensitive (e.g., ABCD123 is the same as aBcD123).

Document numbers must be unique.

Once saved, you cannot change the document number.

Note that while all document numbers are unique, we do not guarantee that they are contiguous.  As each new financial document  is created, the sequence generator specific to this document type will increment by 1.  If a particular INUSE financial document is deleted, that Document # will not be used again for a future entry of that document type, thus, you may have gaps in your series of financial document Document #'s.
