Set customer invoice number sequence same as sales order

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Dan Vandermeulen 700

Hello all,

I have a possible requirement to set the number sequence for Customer invoice to be the same as the Sales order.  I see where I can use the "Use same number as" field in the reference section of the Number sequences form.  However, I am not able to select Sales order when in the Customer invoice number sequence.  Does anyone know if this is possible to do?

A little background, we are using Sales orders to import customer invoices from another system so that we can bring other valuable information into AX 2012 via the Sales order.  Our hope is to have the Sales order number be the same as the Order from our other integrated system.  We would then post a customer invoice with the same number so that in the end our invoice number in AX matches the invoice number in our other integrated system.

Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Thank you,

Dan

    I think the reason why out-of-box AX does not allow the invoice id to be the same as sales order Id is because the 1 sales order can have multiple invoices.

    But you can add customization to realize this. Try to add code to the class 'SalesInvoiceJournalCreate', method 'initJournalHeader' to keep the invoice id be the same as sales Id.

    Hi Johanna,

    We came to the same conclusion as Andrew suggested.  Ax does not allow it to be the same.  We ended up having our MS partner create a customization for this.  In our process we are importing sales orders from an outside system.  Then generating invoices on that sales order.  Our customization was created to give us a check box to check on the sales order that tells AX to use the sales order number as the invoice number when an invoice is generated.

    This way, if we ever do want the ability to create multiple invoices on 1 sales order, we would not check the box on the sales order and it would adhere to standard AX number sequence functionality.

    Hope that helps!
