Re: Can't have same invoiceID for invoices created in different years

Hi Eugen,

Do you mean a sequence by 3rd parties and not only by (OOTB) "company" ?

BTW did you read: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBENDUSER/12.1.1+Accounting+Preferences ?

Also AFAIK there is no suffix available, but is that really needed when you have a prefix?

Hi Jacques,

Thanks for the link.
I've read the documentation and found the entries in ofbiz demo instance.

I managed to change the prefix for the invoices.

I used to be more creative with invoice series.
Now with migration to OFBiz in the works I've channeled my creativity to 
other fields... .

I'll talk to my accountant to see how often is to have multiple document 
series (invoice, orders, proforma invoice, quotes, etc) per organization.

Until then, I think we are set.

All the best,
Eugen
