Adding a second purchase order sequence number

I would like to have a second sequence number for non-stock PO's (for items tied to non-managed inventory) as N19000001, N1900002, etc.

In sales orders, I know you can create different sequence numbers by sales order type. However, I don't see that the same is possible in purchasing as there are no purchase order types by which to define a different sequence number. The sequence number definition is simply by purchase orders in general.

Does anybody know of a way to have a different sequence number be applied in a given scenario (as I have described above)?

    You have to have "sequence" numbers obviously.

    We did a mod to do this for separate divisions.   The company had 3 divisions and 1 purchasing group.   The wanted to preserve the existing division sequences and add a prefix for each division.   The inventory was separated by dimension for costing purposes and there was no cross division use of components ( They said!!!).  So they pick if they were doing a PO for X or Y or Z and it picked that sequence number.   Similar.

    Thanks for insight Stephen. That's kind of what I was thinking, that this would involve a mod somehow. If anybody knows how to do this in standard, out of the box Sage, I would be very interested.
