Purchase Orders improvements about layout and unique PO number
The most companies made an own decision about the PO layout or PO number. In our opinion the layout of a PO is for every company unique, so we want to be able to customize the PO by ourselves. For example it should be easier to add your own company logo to the PO, so you could make the PO unique.
Thereby it would be nice to change the format of the PO numbers. Now the PO numbers all starts with MF-(and than the documentnumber). It would be nice to changes that, because you could not check about which year the PO is. Beside it would that the ordernumbers every year starts with MF-17-00001, MF-17-00002 etc. Because of this it should be eassier to check for example of one PO is missing and how many PO you have sent in a year.

Agree that being able to define the PO number structure would be great.
We have sucessfully tailored the PO format (including adding a logo) using the XSL Template Admin function. It isnt the most user friendly tool and needs XSL skills and details of the underlying schema .
