The first three-digits of the PO Start Number are assigned from the PO Group Code. If the PO Group Code is less than three-digits, the system zero fills.

For example, if the PO Group code is 21, the system creates Group Code 021. When the PO Start Number is created the starting purchase order number is "0210000000". Subsequent purchase orders start with the next number 0210000001, and etc. If the PO Group code is 211, the system creates Group Code 211. The first purchase order number created is 2110000000. Subsequent purchase orders start with the next number 2110000001, and etc.
