Are you just trying to reference a Customer's name on a PO? PO's are usually reserved for Vendors.

Well also it seems like the original error message you were getting may have been caused by you trying to alter an number that is assigned by QuickBooks.  The PO number is a number generated by QuickBooks and cannot be altered or QuickBooks won't be able to recognize it.  What you might want to consider is taking that value from ...

What am I missing? I created a button, and created 3 actions on the click: 1. Retrieve value from screen: full name 2. go to tab: purchase order 3. Enter value onto field on screen: field - Ship to , Action from #1.

I tried using APIDelete and the response was "ThisSqlTransaction has ; it is no longer usable" it deletes 1 record, but I wanted it to delete multiple records, is that not allowed?

You can create your own “PO” number in the customer screen.

I have a design question in regards to the customer PO field.  I see where I can enter the customer PO into Estimates and Invoices, but I would like to enter it at the time I create a new customer / Job.  I do not normally create estimates and I need to retain the PO number before I create the invoice. The other concern is if I ...
