Number Series - Internal Invoices

Each Internal Invoice has its own unique identifying number, based on a sequential series. When you enter a new Internal Invoice, the next number in the sequence will be used. If required, you can have a number of such sequences running concurrently, perhaps representing different years or different departments.

Use this setting to define these sequences, or Number Series. The different series should not overlap. If you leave the setting empty, Internal Invoice Numbers will start at 1 and continue consecutively.

Once you have defined number sequences for Internal Invoices, each new Internal Invoice will take its Internal Invoice Number from the first valid Number Series in this setting. For a particular Internal Invoice, any user can change to the first unused number in any other valid Number Series using 'Paste Special'.

The N/L field gives you a measure of control over whether Nominal Ledger Transactions will be generated automatically when you mark Internal Invoices in a particular sequence as OK and save them. Using 'Paste Special' from the N/L field brings up a selection list containing two options: "GenTrans" and "Do Not GenTrans". Select the first option if Nominal Ledger Transactions are to be generated and the second if they are not. In effect, this feature is an exclusionary one in that you can only choose to not have Nominal Ledger Transactions created for a particular number sequence. If the overall preference (set in the Sub Systems setting in the Nominal Ledger) is to not have such transactions created, you cannot decide to have them created for a single sequence.

When you double-click 'Number Series - Internal Invoices' in the 'Settings' list, the following window appears:

Enter each new Number Series on the first blank line. The Comment will be shown in the 'Paste Special' list, so enter some text that will help you choose a number from the correct sequence. Then, when finished, click the [Save] button in the Button Bar to save the changes. To close the window without saving changes, click the close box.
