Purchase order number is used by customer to uniquely identify a purchasing document.

The number creates the link between the customer purchase order and the sales document that you create. You can use the number used by the customer during correspondence with the customer to find certain document information. If the number refers to a purchase order, you can also print it on the documents that you send to the customer (e.g. on the delivery note).

Hi

N kumar

The objective of entering the PO No in sales order is to tract the SO qty against the PO no if u have BULK PO for particular customer then by entering the PO no in sales order u can track that how much SO u have prepared against the PO. PO field in SO is nothing but reference field and having no validation at the time of creatio of SO.

PO isbasically a reference no for customer.

If u wish u can print the same on Invoice.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks and all the best.
