Auto generated sales and purchase order numbers

Here is a quick one, I’m new to Kinetic ERP, where do you set the starting numbers for sales orders, purchase orders, etc… and can you assign a prefix or suffix to these numbers by site to be used as a site identifier.

Thanks, Mark

You want Company Configuration > Modules > Sales > Quote, Order. And Modules > Production > Job. I don’t know of any way to force a prefix. That would be cool!

Company Configuration. Unfortunately they aren’t all in one place, they’re separated by functional area.

Sales has quotes and orders
Production has job and MRP (I think the firm/unfirm job is the only one that has a prefix available)
Materials has transfer orders and POs
Finance has AR invoices

EDIT - what @nates said lol

Totally! I forgot about that. Good catch.

OrderNum, PONum, QuoteNum, etc. are all integer columns, so you can’t natively add a prefix.

If you wanted/needed to, you could potentially add a UD column to store a prefix/suffix and then add that to your SSRS reports, etc.

Like @JMPCONJ noted, JobNum is a string… so pre/suffix there could be done there more easily. But anywhere where the “Nums” are Ints, you’d have to us a UD column to store the prefix, or a concatenated string of Prefix+Int.

Maintenance and Field service Jobs, if you have those modules, also allow for a prefix.

Nah we’re having enough fun with the basic modules
