number series

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

I'm using NAV2009 RTC SP1

When we set up number series, I set the starting number for sales invoices as SI00001 (no ending number). We are now up to SI89600 and I'm beginning to wonder what happens after we reach SI99999. Any guidance - for example if it moves to SI100000, this may cause confusion with SI10000 in types of filtering. Anyone any suggestions to a logical sequence and what to do?

RE: number series

It moves to the next logical number unless you define an ending number. In your case SI100000.

As far as filtering goes, I'm aware that it's not ideal, but you can always filter as follows in case you don't want to include the docs with no. greater than SI100000. "SI10000..SI99999&<>SI??????" (question mark replaces one character).

When defining more series in the future, try to make sure that reaching the end of the series is not a possibility (unless required) but stay within NAV standards of course.

RE: number series

I usually use number of series per year. For example SI13-00001 for 2013 and SI14-00001 for 2014 etc.

Are you have all of these invoices in the same year or not?
