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:-
- Go to sales
- In purchase no: put CR123456789 (this way, when I allocated the credit, I can find the invoice it relates to easier)
- In Supplier Inv. no. I would be put actual credit note I received: eg C4486125874
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:- - Lisa_S9 years agoTrusted Cover User
Hi Steven_M
If I have understood this correctly! TonyLane refers to the Supplier Invoice No. which takes up to 20 characters. That's fine, but when I input purchases, I can't substitute one for the other, I use both the Purchase No. AND the Supplier Inv No. on that same purchase entry and it would be very beneficial to extend the length of the Purchase No. field to 20 or more or unlimited.
The same goes for entering sales. The Invoice no: is 8 characters or less and the Customer PO No.: is 20 characters. Again, I use both the Inv. no.: AND the Customer PO No. per each sale that I enter.
Will leave it with the Idea Exchange and hopefully the fields will be expanded.

Hi Lisa_S
Thank you for the additional comments. I have shared them with the team.
My understanding is that purchase order number is your numbering for that purchase i.e. internally where as the supplier invoice number would be the one generated from the supplier on the purchase i.e. externally. However different clients run their accounts systems differently and have different systems to track information would impact on that setup.
