Purchase Order, Record Already Exists 1

[Boris10]

Hi everyone,

I am using Purchasing Workflow to raise and approve requisitions. I have encountered a problem with final approvals. When the final approver approves the PR, a PO is supposed to be created. However, i get an error message saying: "Purchase Order. Record Already Exists". Would anyone have any ideas as to how i can process these PRs

Any help would be highly appreaciated.

PO Setup, Options, Documents: increase the Next Number for Purchase Order Number by 1.

Hi Ettiene,

Thank you for your reply. I have Tried that and i am still getting the same error. May be when a PR i converted into a PO, the system is not picking the PO number+1 and is refering to a Po number that is already in the system. Would you know of any other way of reseting the Base PO Number that the system is refering to. Or any other way of solving this problem. Thank you

Look up the last PO number under PO Transactions, Purchase Orders.
Then go back to PO Setup and change the Next Number to your last PO number +1, or +1000 or +whatever.
I've seen this error millions of times, just do as I say and it will be fixed.

You are right Ettiene. It was as simple as that. Thank you very much!
