Customer Purchase Order Information

At the customer level, the field may be defined as required in order to verify that the number has been used before for that customer.  If the field is required at the customer level, a valid number must be entered or an error message will be displayed. 

For remotely sourced sales orders, this field displays the customer's/sales office's purchase order number.  It is used to reference the purchase order tied to this sales order number.  This value is displayed on the order paperwork, and in the Sales Order Inquiry conversation when a listing of orders for a customer is requested. 

For new orders, the field is entered on the Sales Order Maintenance Function Select screen.  For remotely sources orders, this field value defaults from the Sales Order Maintenance Header screen.
