Scenario
In a Vendor record, under the Financial subtab > Transactions list, users are able to see a list of transactions related to the Vendor. In the Default view, one of the available columns is the PO/Check #.
The user noticed that this column is blank and it does not show Purchase Order number nor the Check number.
Answer
The PO/Check # Column in Vendor Records under Financial subtab > Transactions list is just another reference field that you may use for identification and/or reporting purposes.
The value in that column is sourced from the Vendor # field in Purchase Orders of the Vendor.
The default value for the Vendor # field in Purchase Orders can be set from the Account field of the Vendor record under the Financial subtab. If your Vendor assigned an account number for you, you may enter it there.
In comparison, for Customer records' transactions list, PO/Check# column sources the value from the PO # field on the Sales Order, because the PO # field has the same Field ID as the Vendor # field on Purchase Orders which is otherrefnum.
This should not be confused with Purchase Order number nor the Check # of Vendor Payments. If you're looking for this information in the Transactions list of the Vendor record, you may look at the Document Number column instead.
