Formula in No. Series

Posted on by Jason D. 25

Hello, 

I am looking for help in setting up custom code in No. Series. The requirement is the code assigned to sales quotes and sales invoices should be based off the code in customer record. E.g. if customer no. is CUST05, sales quotes should be CUST05-DATE-001, 002, and so on and sales invoices should be CUST05-001, 002, and so on. 

I wanted to know if its possible to use formula in Starting No. If anyone has any recommendations/suggestions for this type of issue, do you mind sharing it?  

Thank you, 

Jason

    There is not standard functionality that can do this automatically for you.

    Different no. series can be selected manually for each order you create.

    But to have this done automatically you need some custom code.

    Not very complex coding - but still coding is needed.

    Hi, This needs to be customized, if you use the standard function, you can only do the following.

    Hope this can give you some hints.

    Thanks.
