Setting a minimum PO/Receipt Number


It is not unknown for Dynamics GP to set a PO or Receipt Number to an unexpectedly low number when a transaction has been deleted from the system. PSTL provides a tool which can be used to prevent this from happening by using the Minimum PO/Receipt # tool.

Getting ready

This tool differs from the ones already covered in this chapter in that it requires PSTL to be installed on each machine in which the PO/Receipt Number is to be checked. Activating the tool only needs to be done on one machine.

  1. Open PSTL and select Customer Name Modifier from Sales Tools.

  2. Click on Next.

  3. Mark the checkbox next to Minimum PO/Receipt # in the Purchasing Tools (Cont.) section.
