Organization Settings, Document Numbering and PO Numbering

Organization Settings, Document Numbering and PO Numbering

Update business details, addresses and remittance notices, set the entity code for purchase order numbers, and add Notes and Payment terms templates.

At a glance

Settings > Organization holds your business name, email, the addresses that prefill new documents, and remittance notice settings.

Settings > Documents sets how purchase orders are numbered and the text new purchase orders start with.

How It Works

Business addresses are "Used to prefill billing and shipping addresses on new documents". Purchase order numbers are generated automatically from a three-letter Entity code, for example PO-RCC-0000001-X. Contract numbers are generated when you create a contract, and expense receipt numbers are prefilled from the submitter's initials and the date. Invoices keep the vendor's own invoice number.

Update Organization Details

1. Open Settings > Organization.

Settings > Organization with Business Name, Business Email, Business addresses and Remittance notices.
Settings > Organization with Business Name, Business Email, Business addresses and Remittance notices.

2. Click Edit beside Business Name or Business Email to change them.

3. Click the pencil icon beside Business addresses to add your billing and shipping addresses.

4. Under Remittance notices, turn on Payments recorded outside Finofo if vendors should get a remittance email when a bank, card or cheque payment is recorded or a vendor credit is applied. Payments made through Finofo always send one.

Set PO Numbering and Prefill Templates

1. Open Settings > Documents and select the Purchase orders tab.

Settings > Documents, Purchase orders tab: Entity code numbering and the Notes and Payment terms prefill templates.
Settings > Documents, Purchase orders tab: Entity code numbering and the Notes and Payment terms prefill templates.

2. Under Numbering, click Edit beside Entity code and enter the three-letter code for this organization.

3. Under Prefill templates, click + Add template under Notes or Payment terms to set the text new purchase orders start with.

Tips

  • Add addresses before raising the first purchase order, so they prefill automatically.
  • Choose an entity code that clearly identifies the organization, especially if you run several.
  • Put standard delivery instructions in the Notes template and your usual terms in Payment terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is a PO number assigned?

Automatically, when the purchase order is saved.

Can I renumber invoices?

No. Invoices keep the vendor's own invoice number, which Finofo reads from the document.

Where do I choose automatic or manual posting?

On the Invoices tab of Settings > Documents, under Approval and posting.
