Enter or Modify Official Document Number

Explanation

Use this activity to enter or modify Official Document Number Components to generate the Official Document Numbers.

If the Official Document Number generation method is selected as Automatic in Company/Invoice/General tab and Component A value is linked to the Customer/ Address/Delivery Tax Information tab, the component A value will be fetched in transaction pages. The component A value can also be edited or manually entered on the transaction page as required. Based on this, the Official Document Number will be generated when printing or sending the document.

If the Official Document Number generation method is selected as Manual in Company/Invoice/General tab, the relevant component values need to be entered in the Official Document Number Components dialog to fetch the value to the Official Document Number field.

For Manual Customer Invoice and Manual Supplier Invoice, the Official Document Number generation method is always Manual. Therefore, the values for the used components must be entered in the Official Document Number Components dialog to fetch the value to the Official Document Number field.
