Configure alternate PO number validation

Alternative PO numbers refer to numbers where a unique purchase order is identified in the purchase order header table. This is a combination of the PO number and the company code.

The steps below assume that you are using the vendor master database table. If you are using a different database table for purchase order header validation, please update the table and column names accordingly.

You can configure the system to use alternative PO number validation by following these steps.

  1. Using the menu, navigate to Settings > Invoice Processing > Capture Profiles > PO Number Settings > PO Number Validation tab.
  2. Select the Custom Database value from the Validate From setting.

    Several database settings are displayed.

  3. Select PO Key Includes Company Code.
  4. Enter PO_HEADER in the DB Table Name setting.
  5. Enter PO in the DB PO setting.
  6. Enter VENDOR_ID in the DB Vendor ID setting.
  7. Enter COMPANY_CODE in the DB Company Code.
  8. Save your changes.
