Creating PO Number

To create a new custom attribute PO Number, do the following:

1. In Billing control panel, go to System > Settings > Attributes.
2. Click Add New Attribute.
3. Specify the following fields:
   • ID – unique identifier of the attribute PO number. For example, PO_NUMBER_ATTR.
   • Owner – owner of the attribute PO number. Set a Provider as an owner.
   • Name – name of the custom attribute. For example, PO Number.
   • Value Type – value that the attribute can have. For example, String.
   • Status – defines whether the attribute is optional or required to be filled in. Select Optional.
   • Applicable to should be set to Order. It means that the PO number will be applicable to orders.
   • Active – select if you want to use the attribute.
   • Ask on Order Placement – select this option for PO Number.

   • Propagate to Subscription – This option is specific to the Order type attributes. Select this checkbox to propagate the attribute value to a subscription. Attributes propagated to subscriptions can be viewed and edited by a provider in the PCP.

     Note: If you select the Propagate to Subscription option, an attribute value are propagated to a subscription only during order placement. If you modify order attributes, changes will not be propagated to a subscription. You must update the respective subscriptions manually. Do it by clicking the Service Parameters button on the subscription profile's General tab.
     You can use attributes only when placing sales orders. No other order types accept them. Attributes applicable to sales orders, if propagated to a subscription, are also stored to all subsequent orders for this subscription.

   • After Field – select after what field the Custom Account ID field will be shown. For example, Address Line 1.
