If you are building a table for orders and have four diffrant order types containing diffrent info, would you put everthing into one big table or four smaller tables for easy reading.
 
HI

It depends on your total volume and the sequence to locate back easily. Any database is not just for input.. it should be convenient to retrieve data. On that basis, it could be in one table UNLESS they are of totaly different nature and follows different numbers sequence.

For an average place, I would think of a common table so that the PO number follows some sequence without hunting between differnt choices.
