    Hi CarolG1,

     

    Thank you for your post.

     

    It seems like there's a bit of a hiccup with the sequence of your orders. It's possible that this is due to a preference setting that's currently active. If the preference is selected, the system will adhere to the sequence number from the order.

                 

    To resolve this, you might want to consider deselecting this preference. This should allow the orders to adopt the new sequence when they're converted into invoices.

     

    Feel free to create a new post again if you need further help.

Hi Factory, 

 

Thanks for posting your concern in the forum. 

 

I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties caused by the invoice number sequence. Currently, the application picks up the last sale transaction number you've created and uses the next sequential number after that when creating the next sale transaction. You will need to change the invoice number every time you create a sale transaction that goes back to previous sale transaction numbers. You can read through this article, Enter an Invoice, Quote or Order. This will provide further information about how the creating sales transactions works.

 

I recommend posting this as a suggestion in the Ideas Exchange Board for the development team to see. 

 

Let us know if you require any further assistance.


Thanks,

Genreve
