Title: Printing Invoices/assign numbers
Post by Prier Products on 07/06/12 at 12:26:43

When we release Sales Orders we enter them in SO Number order and they would print in the same order and assign the invoice numbers in the same order (no we don't have the same numer for both). With the updated version May 2012, yes we can print them in either SO or INV number order but, if we print them in SO order, the invoice numbers are not in order and vice versa. How does the system assign invoice numbers to SO's when releasing?

Thanks!

I realize this is an old post, but I have this same question. I can't seem to release the orders in a way that the invoice# assignment makes sense. Even if I release them in numerical order and in order by ship date the invoice numbers get assigned in the wrong order. Is there a fix or a default that I'm not seeing?

I'm sure you have a reason for wanting them in the same order, so here's a way you could do it if it's that important.

Set the option for "Set Invoice # Same as PackSlip". Then release the orders in the order you want. This assigns the next Invoice Number as the Pack Slip number in the order you release the SOs.

From the Web Help page

Quote:

Set Pack Slip Same as Invoice
If this is set to Y, then when releasing sales orders in SO-E Release Sales Orders the same number (the Next Invoice Number) will be assigned to the order for both the Invoice and Pack Slip number. This eliminates having 2 sets of numbers and also enables reprinting a pack slip after the invoice has posted because it can pull from the posted invoice file for the data since it is a one-to-one relationship.
