How to set same Vendor Invoice No. in the different PO

Posted on by

Hi!

My client asked us below questions. 

<Background>

I'm working on the BC upgrade project (NAV to BC).

Currently we setup "External Doc. No." mandatory in the Purchases & Payable Setup in BC, due to the client's request.

In NAV, this parameter is disabled. which means not mandatory. 

<Client question>
For example, in NAV, if we try to enter Document No. 123456 for Vendor A, then Document No. 123456 for Vendor A again, we will get an error message. However, we can enter Document No. 123456 for Vendor A, then Document No. 123456 for Vendor B with no problem. For our audit purposes, it’s okay to have the same Document No. for different vendors, but not for the same vendor.

Unfortunately, not allowing the same Document No. for any vendor won’t work for us. Is the only option available to lift the mandatory requirement for that field? If so, I guess we will have to select that option. However, my concern is that BC365 will then allow one to enter the same Document No. for the same vendor. That seems a step backwards from what NAV allowed, not something that one would expect in an upgraded version.
-------------------------------------------------------------

My question is are there any workaround BC operations above without customization?

Should we wait for MS Continuous Update to fix this issues?

If you could help me, I applicate it. Thank you!
