I want to supress the leading zeros so my invoice numbers are significantly shorter - but another thread on this site revealed that they cannot be deleted - why not???
My suppliers and customer...
The issue is not just getting rid of leading zeros. By doing so, additional characters can be used, as required by some large customers.
For example, one well-known national retailer insists on all Invoices starting with a particular letter. Their other divisions use different letters. If not, payments run late, and extra time is used chasing up these matters with the customer.
The system we moved from offerred this feature when we first started with it in 1984.
