Adding dynamic suffix to PO number using workflow
Hi, we are currently using auto-generated number for our PO. A typical PO number would be something like POXXXX.
One of our users is requesting to add a suffix just as GMP to our PO number if the order is related to GMP materials. So in the body of the purchase transaction, I have added a checkbox for GMP. I'm currently testing out a workflow to check for the GMP checkbox and concat the transid with '-GMP' .
It seems to do it, but the next auto-generated didn't increase as expected. For example, if our current PO number is at 2000. The next submitted PO number with the GMP flag is PO2001-GMP. I was hoping the PO after that would be PO2002, but it stayed at 2001. How can I fix this?
