Hi,
I need to use manual numbering for sales invoices. I can do this when I enter the sales invoice, but as soon as it is posted it is given an automatic number.

Can you post a screenshot of the setup of the Number sequence for Sales invoices?

Hi Crawlenj,
Your screenshots are not from a Dynamics 365 Finance, but it is about Dynamics 365 Business Central. You posted your question in the wrong forum. I will request to move this question to the correct forum.

Thanks.

There is only one method as per YUN ZHU. I'd recommend proper customisation to handle this as there are a few considerations involved including duplicate validation and cancel/reverse or you might end up with a mess
