✅ Step 1: Delete a PO (if needed)
-
From the PO Management screen, locate the PO you want to delete.
-
Click Delete (permissions apply).
-
The PO is removed from active records, but the number is now released for reuse.
⚠️ Note: Deleted POs are no longer actionable but may still appear in audit logs depending on configuration.
🔁 Step 2: Recreate the PO Using the Same Number
-
When creating a new PO, enter the previously deleted PO number in the PO number field.
-
The system will now accept the number without returning a duplicate error.
-
Proceed with PO creation as usual.
💡 Why This Matters
- Easier project-level organization (e.g., PO123 for multiple stages of a single project).
- Better alignment with external systems that rely on PO number consistency.
- Less manual renumbering or tracking in spreadsheets.
