Hi, I want to be able to set New Purchase Orders’s generated code as a free code (leopard).  
With de default instalation I am able to set it as : Muget or Orchidee.

Hold could I be able to have the Leopard (free) option?

Hi,  
When you create a new Purchase Order to a vendor, Dolibarr allows you to set a Purchase Order number.  
First it creates a Draft with a default (PROV{x}) number.  
Then when you press the button “Validate and Aprove”, It will asign you a new Purchase order number.

This is the part where I want to be able to asig a free Purchase order number. In the admin area It allows me to set it to Muget or Orchidee maskara type only.

Hi,

No it is not possible.  
On V11, you could have the possibility for invoice only : [Modifying Invoice Numbers](https://www.dolibarr.org/forum/t/modifying-invoice-numbers/18277/4)

Thanks for your quick reply. Could you explain to me the reason for this? I was actually trying to change this behavior by changing the code, but maybe you could tell me why I should not force this.

Thanks for your help
