Hello,

Can you provide more context and maybe the field caption in Purchase Invoice before posting?

Manually recorded invoice number sounded like Vendor Invoice No., it should be on the list and card page.

Can you try Clearing your Personalization?

Namaste @CU20112316-1

There are two ways you can get the number reference .

1) Vendor Invoice Number is external Document Number provided by Vendor

2) PRe-Assigned Number is document Number before posting the purhcase Invocie . But If you have posted invocie from Purchase ORder , PRe-Assigned Number will be blank

In Below Purchase Invoice, This is posted using Purchase Invoice Screen , Hence Order no is blank . But "Vendor Invoice Number" , "PRe-assigned Number" has value

Hope i could answer your query

Warm Regards

Hello ,

The No. you manually enter on a Purchase Invoice is only a temporary document number; when you post, Business Central always assigns a new number from the Posting No. Series, and only that posted number is saved and shown on the Posted Purchase Invoice and Vendor Ledger Entries. If you want the supplier’s number to appear after posting and on the vendor account, you must enter it in Vendor Invoice No. — that’s the only field that flows through posting and is stored historically.

It does, that's a standard process until and unless I misunderstood something.

Is there any customization on top?
