Hi,

I do want to manually input the Project invoice number which is same as project invoice proposal number.

I had already setup the Number sequence code for project invoice and Invoice voucher "Manual" = Yes

"PostingProject contract ID: 00000128 Voucher number must be filled in"

    How to set Project invoice number manually when Post project invoice proposal
    Dear all,
     
    We have Feb. 2025 and I tried the same but the error is the same (version 10.0.41). Guess it just doesnt work by design.
     
    @AndrĂ© Arnaud de Calavon thanks for your input!

    Kind regards, Adis

    Some processes don't have the option to provide the number. This is usually the case for posting invoices. If there was a field for the invoice number, you could do a manual entry. During posting, it tries to get the number from the number sequence. With the wrong setup, you will get a runtime error.

    How are you preventing gaps in the invoice numbers if you want to have the same number as the proposal number? Also auditors will be asking you this question.

    Your requirement can only be achieve with a customization, which I would not recommend without having a procedure in place to get a continuous invoice numbering in case some proposals will be cancelled.

    Hi Calavon,

    Thanks for your information.

    Since we'll send out the Invoice proposal to our customer for confirmation, and we will only post the invoice proposal upon customer confirmed.

    So, we need to set the project invoice number be the SAME as the Project Invoice proposal number, which we can easy to communicate with our customer and when do the settlement.

    System allow user to set the number sequence code in "Manual" but why not support user to input the invoice number manually?

    Hi PhyllisPang,

    Your requirement is not supported in the standard application. Why do you want to link the proposal number as invoice number? When a proposal will be cancelled, there will be a gap in the numbering of invoices sent out to customers.
