Hello MYOB,
Can you please put an indicator in the PO purchase to stop at 8 Characters instead if letting us type the who PO and then letting us know we have gone past the specified characters, it is very annoying having to count the characters.

Would like to increase the field length on purchase order number field to minumum 10 characters to accommodate our project coststing reports

Where you enter the Purchase No. when entering a Bill, you can only enter up to 8 digits, is it possible to extend it to 12 digits at least . I usuallly have to leave off some of the numbers. I have requested this a few times over the years surely there must be some way to do it. When you enter the Purchase Invoice number there is no problem.
We use a maintenance programme which automatically generates a works order number which is 18 characters long. It would be great if we could have that length field so that we dont have to chage our works order numbers when we put into MYOB

I'm with you Fairlady - as it is frustrating to go all the way to the end and then have the error pop up Thanks

Can the development team also fix this field to only accept the fixed number of characters like it did in v19 as so much time is wasted have to count back to eight. Thanks
- Liam_MFormer StaffStatus changed:NewtoOpenThanks for the excellent suggestion. Anyone else who would like to see the purchase order number field on purchases extended beyond 8 characters, please cast your vote here. Our development team will consider this suggestion. In the meantime Sainter, one work-around is to record the last 8 digits of your purchase order as the purchase order number in AccountRight, then adding the full extended purchase order number onto the end of the journal memo. To search for purchases by the extended purchase order number, go to find transactions and click the accounts tab. Select search by ‘all accounts, then click advanced filters. Enter the extended purchase order number in the Memo/Payee field and click OK.

It would be great if we can have the purchase number field (Entering purchases) extended to be able to add more than 8 digits. Most of my Invoices I received from suppliers, their invoice numbers are more than 8 digits long.
Therefore, I can't enter in the whole number, only part of it. Very Frustrating!!!!

Hi Lisa_S
Thank you for the additional comments. I have shared them with the team.
My understanding is that purchase order number is your numbering for that purchase i.e. internally where as the supplier invoice number would be the one generated from the supplier on the purchase i.e. externally. However different clients run their accounts systems differently and have different systems to track information would impact on that setup. - Lisa_STrusted Cover User
Hi Steven_M
If I have understood this correctly! TonyLane refers to the Supplier Invoice No. which takes up to 20 characters. That's fine, but when I input purchases, I can't substitute one for the other, I use both the Purchase No. AND the Supplier Inv No. on that same purchase entry and it would be very beneficial to extend the length of the Purchase No. field to 20 or more or unlimited.
The same goes for entering sales. The Invoice no: is 8 characters or less and the Customer PO No.: is 20 characters. Again, I use both the Inv. no.: AND the Customer PO No. per each sale that I enter.
Will leave it with the Idea Exchange and hopefully the fields will be expanded.
Regards
Lisa_S
