I created a new service category and associated a template to it, and sure enough, it appeared in the drop down. However, if I log in as a requester,

Community question: Do you use the SDP generated PO # or do you change it?
Hey all, We're new to SDP and started backfilling older invoices into the purchasing module to create and reconcile our assets for tracking. I've been leaving the SDP generated sequential PO # and then using the PO Name field to enter vendors' invoice numbers or, in the case of Apple, receipt numbers (R29646... etc). I was curious what others were doing i.e.; are you using the PO Name field as a descriptive field describing the order, etc.
