Number sequence group doesn't work when creating free text invoices

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 375

I set up the number sequence group KI with format KI######## for legal entity USMF. Then I create a new free text invoice and select KI as number sequence group, it works well for the first time. However, the invoice number showed the wrong format since the second time.

Here is the reproduce steps:

  1. Create a new free text invoice

>> Go to Account receivable >> Invoices >> All free text invoices > New

>> Select customer account: US-001

      Invoice lines: Description: Test, Main account: 401200, Unit price: 2000

  1. Create a new number sequence group and a new number sequence code

>> Click Header

>> Right click to number sequence group >> View details

>> Click New, enter Group: KI, Description: Kylie test.

      Click Save

      In reference, in Account receivable line, right click Number sequence code > View details.

>> Enter: Number sequence code: KI, Name: Kylie test

      Select Scope as Company, Company = USMF

      In segments: Enter Constant = KI

      Click Save

The format is KI#########

Come back free text invoice and select KI as number sequence group, then post.

 

Then I found that, the expected result just came in first time I’ve tested. From the second times, the invoice number does not follow the number sequence group setup.

    Hi L Dinh,

    Do you select this number sequence group the second time? If you want to replace the initial sequence code, you can do changes in related number sequence or replace it in AR parameter--> number sequences--> reference(Free text invoice).

    Hi,

    Why don't you create a completely new number sequence for your invoices and set it up / link it in the AR Parameters?

    Because my user just want to have some free text invoice has number sequence group so I think we could not create a new one

    Hi L,

    If I understand correctly, don't you want to completely replace the initial sequence numbers? So, did you select the sequence group KI again when you created the free text invoice for the second time, otherwise it will apply the default sequence code set in the AR parameters.

    Regards,

    Hi, 

    Here is a screenprint of the AR parameters that show you the number sequences for the free text invoice and the respective vouchers.

    Can't you simply create new number sequences, save them, go to the AR parameters form and replace the standard ones by the ones you created?

    Best regards, 

    Ludwig

    Hi L Dinh,

    If you want to have a number sequence for all free text invoices, then the replies above should help you.

    If you need a number sequence per customer or group of customers you should be aware that each new free text invoice will inherit the number group from the customer.

    So, first setup the number group on the customer(s); then create new free text invoices.
