These are po numbers that customers give us...so there are no guarantees about uniqueness. As a matter of fact, we have gotten a duplicate PO number within a customer (from a major retailer...I wouldn't expect that to happen). The only time we retrieve an invoice (or open order) this way is when a store calls and says "Where is po number 12345?"
