The POM Purchase Order number is 12-digits, both the Delivery Instruction and the Replenishment Order numbers are 8-digits. Why are they different?
The POM Purchase Order replaces the current paper wholesale contract. It was decided to retain the current number size to minimize the impact on any supplier systems currently use the contract number. The 8-digit Delivery Instruction and Replenishment Order number is the same purchase order number that you are currently receiving today.
