The autonumber PONUM exists at both the system level and organization level in Maximo system.   Do you believe there is some explanation of why it exists at both?   The Autonumbering is controlled by the Autonumber Setup within the Organizations application.  Autonumbering can be setup at system, org, and/or site levels in any combination desired. A PO is a SITE Level record and when you create a new PO, Maximo takes in consideration the User Default Insert Site to fill the PO SiteID and OrgID.   This way if a PO Header is... [More]
