Posted on by 105

Dear,

What is the purpose of Invoice number in the Profoma Invoice report (as displayed in below image)? Is it possible to  fetch any value in standard function? If yes, what are the possible ways?

    Hello Chandra,

    Is your question related to D365FO or an older 'AX' version?

    Do you need a specific number sequence for proforma invoices or do you have another issue?

    Would be great if you could elaborate.

    Many thanks,

    Ludwig

    Dear Ludwig,

    Thank you for your reply. My scenario is related to AX 2012 R3. Yes, I need specific number sequence for Proforma invoice, if available in standard way through any number sequence or so.

    Also I need to know if the standard format of proforma invoice show field as 'Invoice number' or 'Proforma Invoice' number in the report.

    Hi Chandra,

    We don't have Out of the box Pro-forma invoice number neither in AX 2012 nor in D365 but you can create a custom number sequence reference and print it on Pro-forma invoice report. There is a OOB field "invoice number" on the report but it always appears blank so i suggest you to use a new field called "Pro-Forma Invoice"

    Hello Chandra Jain,

    The proforma invoice has not invoice number sequence that one can assign to.

    If you need this then you have to ask a developer to build it for you.
