Hello

I tested with invoice series with a number series but it does not work for manual customer invoice. The help for invoice no field says it is entered manually.

Good luck with it

Hi, 

Typically, the manual customer invoice process is only used due to data migration or some interface where the invoice is created in some other system then loaded into IFS. In both cases we would not have an automatic numbering. 

Have you looked into the instant invoice process?   This is usually the tool of chose for manually created invoices, rather than the manual customer invoice. It’s easier, faster and the invoice can be printed if needed. 

Best regards

Hi. I’d like to continue the subject in a bit different direction. 

Are there any settings in IFS that will monitor the invoice number series against the invoice date? For example we have Instant Invoice FP03202408006 from 27.08.2024 and FP03202408007 from 2.08.2024. It is possible to create invoices with the next number even if the invoice date is earlier than the previously created invoice. 

Thanks for any suggestions. 

Hi, 

If we keep within the manual customer invoice process, invoice number is most often created via the file load, meaning the data / invoice number is within the file. Given this, IFS does not create the invoice number.  You can do anything you want.  The limitation is the number can’t be duplicated. 

If you are talking about an entirely different invoice flow such as II, CD, CR, AD, or project invoice, these are system generated. 

See the invoice series and the numbering that follows.  

I guess you could define a new numbering every day. The prefix could be date related, the suffix would be numerical increasing by 1 every invoice.   Would hardly call that practical, but it can be done. 

See the numbering and test the capabilities as compared to the ask. 

Can it work exact like you write does not appear that exact numbering format is possible. 

Additional capabilities exist for Cloud 24R1 for what I would call a government invoice number (can’t recall the exact IFS term) but we essentially have two invoice numbers, one assigned via the same logic we have had for a very long time, the other is intended to follow government regulations.  

Best regards,
