Question:

I have maintained a new Document Numbering Format for Purchase Order. But auto running number seems like not working. Anything wrong?





If use date in Jun’2023, the new Purchase Order number should be PO-2306-0001 but now shows as PO-2307-0001.





Possible Reason:

You have maintained an invalid document numbering format. For example you may have missed out the { } or didn’t include @ or didn’t include < >

PO-{@yyMM-<0000>, the correct format should be PO-{@yyMM}-<0000>

PO-{yyMM}-<0000>, the correct format should be PO-{@yyMM}-<0000>

PO-{@yyMM}-0000, the correct format should be PO-{@yyMM}-<0000>




Solution:

1) Go to Master Data > Numbering Format.





2) Edit your PO format, Document Type: PO Default.





3) Maintain the correct format and you will be able to get the correct numbering. You may refer to the hint provided by the system if you are unsure about the numbering format.





4) Now, the new Purchase Order number shows correctly.
