Cannot use the same PO number as a Purged PO ....

Hello:

The users want to use the same PO number as a PO that has been cancelled and purged from the system.

But when they enter the PO number, it gives them an error that the PO number must be unique.

What is the reason for this functionality ?

Yesh

Hello:

We are on Release 12.0.6 using Buyer Work Center.

When I purge a PO it removes all the records from PO_HEADER, PO_LINES, etc and puts it in a PO_HISTORY_POS_ALL table .....I do not see the PO in the PO_HEADER_ARCHIVE tables.

The question is that once a PO is purged, why can't I go and use the purged PO number for another new PO..... since the user is using manual PO numbering scheme, they want to control the PO numbers and they feel that a purged PO number should be available to them for new PO.
