Is it possible to generate invoice numbers based on sales order numbers in Dynamics 365 FO?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by CP04-islander 655

Hello everyone,

 

In Dynamics 365 FO , is there a standard or supported way to generate an invoice number based on the related sales order number?

For example:

 
  • Sales Order: 102350

  • Invoice Number: INV-02350

  •  

We are looking to align invoice numbering with sales order references for business and compliance reasons.

 

Has anyone implemented this before, or is customization required? Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you!

    Hi CP04-islander,
     
    I doubt if this is allowed by your local regulations. Usually the sales order numbers should be following a continuous number sequence. Out of the box, your scenario is not supported.
     
    What's in a number? From any invoice you can find related sales orders or from sales orders the related invoices.
     
    It would require a customization, but check with accountants first if it is allowed in your region.

    Hi,

    I hope we can achieve this using through extension.

    This isn't possible, because it wouldn't work in all situations. For instance:
    • You create two invoices partially covering a single order. Both invoices would have the same number, which isn't allowed.
    • You create a summary invoice covering several orders. Your requirement means assigning several different numbers to the same invoice, which isn't possible either.
