Invoice Numbering

[Vinix]

Hello hello. I need to number the various documents like sale invoices and/or payments e.g. INVnnnn or RECnnnn
I’ve seen that flagging the “reference” field on automatic it assigns a progressive number but it’s formatted like a single figure number (1, 2, etc…)
moreover, I need to input , in the purchase invoices, the same invoice number provided by the suppliers, but I’m not able to find a way to do it.
I haven’t been able to find a clear instruction in guide on how to do this.
An help would be appreciated, thanks a lot

You will have to create a custom field to hold this information Use custom fields | Manager

Manager does not support prefixes when using automatic reference numbers

There are already several threads about this on the forum. Did you search for them as the Forum FAQ/Rules demand?

The developer, @lubos, stated the following:

Series of Number at printed documents

I’m not against this feature. If you want static prefix on all invoices, it will be possible. Footers will soon support ability to “inject” variables. Once that is done, I will implement ability to have custom document headers which will work similar to footers. That will conclude need for custom themes which are now obsolete due to being too complex for vast majority of users.
