Why is the purchase order number field only 8 digits, yet the invoice number is longer? It is annoying when entering purchase orders that are longer as they get cut off after 8 digits. Can this be fixed to enable longer purchase orders to be entered?
"entering purchase order numbers"
Hi
It would be great if this box could have a PO Reference longer than 8 characters. Something for a later release perhaps??
Thanks

We have been using Premier for many years beccause of the Mutlicurrency and Inventory/Autobuild features which are very important for a manufacturer. We are using Premier v12.
Invoices/PO numbers should allow more characters, 10 characters would be useful
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
I often have credits to allocate to sales, due to goods returned or goods not received.
If I have a credit note to input, for say, invoice no. 123456789, theoretically I would like to enter the credit as follows:-
As the "purchase no.:' part only allows, 8 or less characters I can't always do this and have to come up with an "8 character or less" way of doing this.
Is it possible to increase the no. of characters that can go in the Purchase No.: section?
Same with Invoice Nos. in Sales - can that be extended too, as I need to customise inv. nos for different biling using letters and numbers, and it would make it much easier to have more than 8 characters to work with.
Thanks

Hi Donna,
Welcome to the MYOB Community Forum.
I may have misunderstood you but a Supplier's Invoice Number is entered into the "Supplier Inv No:" field and it is limited to 20 characters long, not 8 digits as you have suggested, however the "Purchase No.:" field is limited to 8 characters; please refer to the following image:-
Would it be possible to allow for Purchase Order & Invoice numbers to be longer that just 8 digits?
Ideally the Invoice & Purchase Orders numbers show be 12 to 15 digits. The restriction to only accept 8 digits is not enough. Some suppliers will send their Purchase confirmation numbers with more than 8 digits long and these would ideally be entered into MYOB.

Agreed and have voted
Would like to increase the field length on purchase order number field to minumum 10 characters to accommodate our project coststing reports
Purchase order number increase number of characters to 15 not 8
for entering purchases in MYOB the purchase number character limit is way to small, with the limit of 8 characters you can hardly fit anything in! it needs to increase, even if its only by another 2 or 3!
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
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
