Workflow causing duplicated or skipped document numbers on PO

edited Dec 2, 2019 3:38PM in SuiteCloud / Customization

I am trying to set the employee and location on a drop ship PO to match the employee (custom field) and location from the sales order it is created from. This needs to work when the PO is created upon approval or when 'Drop Shipment' is selected on the line item and the order is then saved (automatically creating the PO).

We have location prefixes for autonumbering, so the location determines what the number of the PO will be. We need to Allow Override on this number.

When I set the employee and the location at any trigger level on the workflow, the result is either a skipped document number or a duplicate document number. This happens whether the Generate TranID on Save preference is checked or unchecked.

Howdy, Stranger!
