Dates have nothing to do with sequence numbers, @spandan888. They are viewed simply as integers. If someone incorporates numerals for the year at the beginning of a number, that number just becomes a larger number. The program still finds the highest number and increments by 1.

i was saying that if possible, irrespective of the invoice number sequences, Manager should be optimized to look for the latest invoice (the invoice on the latest date), and then increment that invoice number by 1 for the new invoice…

That approach would violate legal requirements in many jurisdictions to number invoices sequentially by the order in which they are created. Your suggestion would produce problems if an invoice were deleted, with the program filling in a gap in an existing sequence.
