Planned Work Order Numbers change daily

Because the Planned Work Order numbers change daily in the system and do not stay constant until the Work Order is actualized, we are loosing a key index to sort and analyze data.  Does anyone know how to force the Planned Work Order numbers from cycling every day and remain constant?  Secondarily, does anyone know why Sage 500 does this random number generation?

Thanks, DT

    thanks for your response.  Using your example your first planned WO 920 for 1005 pc.  What we see is when we run MPR the next day that WO number cycles to a new number (something like 1204) unless that planned WO is Firmed in the system which we do not like to do.  So I loose my index for that WO that is critical for other reports and analysis.  Other than firming the planned WO is there a way to keep the WO number from cycling?  We run MRP every day.
