Yes you are right. To a point.
Purchase orders are usually issued by the buyers and they may also issue a job number. Sometimes though the contactor. In this case you may have their own job number. I would check with your customer whether they issue job numbers as well as order numbers. If they dont give out job numbers I cant see why they would want one from you. It may be that the proerties you are working on have a job number allocated to them by the customer.
Hope this helps :)

I've only recently come across this myself. No problem with the invoice number. That is something I provide on my invoices. In this current year which, for me, started on October 1st, 2006 I use the formay 06-07-**** - which is my accounting year followed by a four digit number in numerical sequence (0001, 0002 etc. ) . I go back to 0001 at the start of the following accounting year. As for the purchase order number, this is something provided by the client. A company I have recently started doing a regular clean for issue this to me. In this case it is a four digit number with "blanket order" in brackets afterwards. I understand "blanket order" to mean "ongoing". This is easier as it means that I don't have to ask for a new number each time.
When you say "job number", I am assuming this to mean your invoice number which comes from you.
I had to re-jig my invoice document to accomodate space for the purchase order as I've not come across this before.

My hunch is that it does indeed mean invoice number but I'm learning all the time too so may be wrong. Anyway, the man who never made a mistake never made anything. :)
