I created a PO (PO-00005), saved it but did not submit it as I realized I had already made the PO (PO-00004). I deleted this PO.

Then I created a new PO for Rhine Enterprises. The PO no is now PO-00006, no 5 is missing in the series.

Is there any way to avoid this so that the serial no of POs are not messed up like this?



Thanks

Rasika

I think the whole concept of auto generated POs is about not messing up with the system. The system shall show deleted, draft, completed invoices. 

Just don't bother about the sequencing.

Hi. 

I think we could add a button to clear the form so that the ID can be reused without deleting it.

Or automatically reset the series if the last ID is deleted :P

(let me fix this)

@Rasika - you can fix this now via Setup > Data > Numbering Series

and you can manually set the counter where you want it.

Hi Anand,

That's a good feature to have. Are we compromising on security/ audit trails in any way?

As long as it is draft, it should be okay.

Hi

It could be better if it automatically resets the ID in case of draft PO.

Manually resetting may not be effective as there would be no of users creating POs and hence manually setting the series every time would not be possible.

Thanks
