Blank Invoice numbers created in free text invoices AX 2012 R2

Posted on by lolly 275

The Free Text Invoice function is assigning blank invoice numbers to all of my invoices.  Not sure why or how this is happening.  The number sequence function looks correct and the invoice field is grayed out and blank in the program.

    Good afternoon,

    Is this during the creation of the free text invoice or during the posting? The invoice number on the free text invoice is filled in during the posting process and not during the creation of the free text invoice. That might be the reason that you are not seeing invoice numbers.

    You are correct.  Thank you.

    But why not before posting, is there any reason why it is not created before posting and how can we enable it?

    Invoice number is always created only when the actual invoice is posted and the financial transactions are in place. Why would you need it before posting?

    Same logic applies to sales order invoices - the invoice number is created when invoice is posted, not when order is created.

    And for every invoice number you will always find an actual invoice from your ledger.

    Also, invoices are actually crrated in the invoice journal (CustInvoiceJour). When you post an invoice, it creates the actual invoice, and updates it's id to the Free text invoice table. Free text invoice table is not the actual invoice, hence no invoice id.
