Next Automatic PO Number running wild?

SUGGESTED

I wanted to throw it up here in case anyone has experienced this.  A client states that their 'next automatic' PO number has been incrementing by large amounts on its own (i.e. Last 'automatic' PO number used was '0037498', but PO Options is now showing the next automatic number to be '4302643').  They are configured to use the SO number for SO-generated POs, but I don't believe that should affect the automatic numbering (and their SO numbers are currently only up to the '100000's).

Any comments would be appreciated!

    Sales order numbers used as Purchase orders does not change the next automatic number in PO Options.   In PO Options, there is an option to Apply incremental value to the purchase order no at the beginning or end.  That would require specific scenarios to duplicate.  Could it be related to Historical purchase orders?  I would need to know the version, if there were any 3rd party modifications and any other factors that could create your issue.    I would suggest you open a Support ticket for further troubleshooting.
