Hello,

I want to create automatic invoice number for purchase orders in vendor invoice screen.

When I controlled for sales order invoice, it is possible to create with number sequence but I didn't find same feature for purchase order invoice.

Is there any way to create this invoice number with standart features?

If there is no other method, should I customize?

HI Omer,

This field is intended to be filled with the invoice number provided on the invoice from the vendor as a reference. When you post the invoice, it will get a voucher number from the number sequence "Invoice voucher" (AP parameters)

On the vendor transactions, you will then see both the voucher and the external invoice number.

So, it is not intended to have a number sequence on this field as it is for the purpose of the external reference.

Thanks for reply Andre,

Also, is this valid for "Product receipt" field in "Posting product receipt" form?

Should we fill in this field manually?

Yes, when you post a product receipt, you would enter the packing slip number that your vendor sent to you.

Hi Omer,

In general, the same applies to the product receipt. However, in some implementations, we had to link a number sequence for the cases where there was no packing slip from the vendor. E.g. when you want to "receive" services or when there is a connection with an external warehouse which did not provide the original packing slip number from the vendor.
