Sales Invoice: External Document No. must have a value in Gen. Journal Line

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 348

In the Evaluation Company, every time i create a sales invoice, i am forced to put in an External Document Number. I understand that field is a reference to the Customer's P.O. or authorization number, but i rarely need that. How do i turn off the requirement to enter the External Document Number?

In my live company, I don't have that problem. I just invoice and go. No red asterisk by the External Document Number field. Compared the Posting Setups between the two companies, but I see no difference.

Thanks,

    On the Sales & Receivables Setup page there is a checkbox that makes this mandatory.  Go there and uncheck the box.
