Hi,

I would like to know the Free Text invoice number before posting, can I do that in D365 F&O? If so, where is the setting?

I have the same question (0)

    Hi Kumar,

    This is by design and there is no setting. Invoice number gets generated after the invoice is posted. If you print the FTI before invoice, it will show recid or something similar on report but that's not visible on form, you may have to add that. Not very intuitive but this is how it is.

    Free text invoices are generated upon posting

    Hi Kumar,

    Thank you for using Dynamics 365 Finance Communities.

    Similar to the responses below, the Free Text invoice number is only assigned once the Free Text is posted.

    This is detailed in the article link below as well where it is mentioned:

    The invoice number will be assigned when the invoice is posted.
