PO Numbers Change at Print time

[Garrett]

We create (and print) blank POs and print them so that we can assign PO numbers to purchasing agents. When they use the number they open the blank PO, modify it, and re-print it. Sometimes, but not every time, when re-printing/saving/emailing a PO it takes a new PO number instead of sticking with the PO number it already has. It seems to occur directly after creating new POs from scratch. Why is this, and how can I fix it?

Generally, if the 'PO Number' field becomes blank for any reason, Peachtree will assign the next available number to it. Make sure the original number is still showing before you save/print/email. Also, if you modify the PO, you might get a pop-up message telling you the original PO was modified and ask if you want to save it. If you answer 'no', the modified version becomes a new PO and gets a new number.
