For years we have change our PO numbers at  the beginning of every month in PO-A...but we no longer can.
 
For example:
March 2004         POs  were   403001  .....thru   403?? depending on how many purchases that month
November 2006   POs  were   611001 .... thru    611?? depending on how many purchases  
August  2009        POs  were   908001  .....thru  908?? depending on how many purchases
February 2010      POs  were      2001  .... thru  1001  h
December  2010  will be           12001 ....
March of 2011  will be             103001....    
July of 2019   will be               907001...
        
This numbering system is  great... !!!!
 
Before 2010 we didnt have to go to SD-C and reset the PO counter, we did it at the first of the month in PO-A.
But now since 2010 we are not given the option to reset the PO counter in 2010
 
One might asume that we are not given that option  because  the 2010  PO numbers have leading zeros and DBA 's PO doesnt register the leading zeros.  So DBA sees the 2010 PO numbers as lesser.
 
But we have a standing PO number in the system  999001 thru 999050 that I have created as templates for my girls to copy. I have used these templates for years.  These templates  were large than my 2009 PO numbers but they did not prevent the PO counter in PO-A from working.
 
Any ideas?
 
 
thanks

thats how we used to do it, but since the year is now 2010 it doesn't work....we dont get prompted anymore
I assume it is because our numbering system is based on the year, 2009 had 6 digits, but 2010 only has 4 digits because DBA doesnt accept leading zeros.
 
My guess is DBA PO  counter will not reset to a lesser number??????????
