These settings define purchase order number formatting for extraction. It is possible to add multiple entries for these settings. As a result, the settings are displayed in a table.

Index

The index ID that is given to each format string used to generate purchase order number alternatives. The value must be unique for each entry.

Format

The format string for a possible purchase order number. Multiple formats can be entered per profile ID, with one per index.

The "#" character is a wildcard that represents any number. The "@" character represents any alpha character.

For example, "45########" indicates a purchase order number as a ten-digit number beginning with 45.

"@@#####" finds a purchase order number that has two alphabetic characters followed by 5 digits.

It is recommended to define these strings as precisely as possible to ensure that the correct value is located.
