We put our job numbers in the comment on our purchase orders as the Job function is not relevant as not all our jobs need to be added as a new item. The only issue is that certain comments seem to be on purchase orders as attached that are not correct to that supplier. The comment seems to follow onto the next purchase order raised instead of being blank.
Is there a simple work around as we have hundreds of suppliers.
Hey HDG,
You’re correct about what you’re seeing. The Comments field on orders automatically carries over the last comment entered, which means when you create a new order, it can pull in the previous comment. That’s why old job numbers or notes are following through instead of starting with a blank field. If the comment is different for each order, enter a single period (.) as a note or comment on the supplier’s card. This makes sure that each new order starts with just a single dot in the Comments field. You can then type over it with the correct job number or comment for that specific order, or simply leave it as is if no comment is required, in which case the document will just show a period.
Cheers,
Doreen
