I am a “Server Version Manager” user just updated to the latest version. But there was a problem when I made a routine sales invoice, where the reference number was not filled automatically, so I had to fill in manually, and it took a long time. The automatic reference setting is checked, but it doesn’t work. Thank you for your attention. ---

What version number? “Latest version” does not tell us anything, as there can be several updates in a day. Are you referring to selecting automatic reference sequencing on a specific invoice entry screen, or via Form Defaults? Have you followed the Guide: [Use reference numbers | Manager](https://www.manager.io/guides/18764)? ---

The version I am using is 25.5.32 So, when I create recurring sales invoices, the reference numbers don’t work. Before this update there was no problem. All sales invoices that I make automatically appear reference numbers. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/b/4/b486456738d8e1e0185f3be1f60dd28fac8615b4.png) once published, the reference number does not appear ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/5/b/5b2ffee7b585fbf9fab84d8cd36611cfbbb80d56.png) ---

I can confirm that the automatic reference does not work on Recurring Sales Invoices nor Recurring Journal Entries in the Windows 64-bit Desktop version 21.5.32 It works for Recurring Payslips and is not an option for Recurring Purchase Invoices This is a bug ---

The problem is not that, The problem is that I have checked the automatic reference, but after the recurring sales invoice is issued, the reference number does not appear. if it’s only 1 or 2 invoices, maybe it can be edited, but if it’s hundreds of invoices, it will take a lot of time just filling in the reference number. ---
