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...
If they cant be removed make them pale so they look like place holder and not part of the invoice number.
I always drop the zeros as some are suppliers have an extreme number, 5+ leading zeros crazy.
I prefix my Inv Numbers with INVXXXX but i dont need lots of numbers.
Whatever you choose to do you need to be consistent to avoid problems.
Maybe invoice Numbers could be shortened, if you could use prefix letters in the Inv Number, Then for sorting the leading zeros would not be required.
