Invoice Settings - Separate Number Sequence for Credit Note
Currently, in the Automatic Sequencing setting, the invoice & credit note share the same number sequence. However, for tracking purpose, we prefer to have a separate number sequence for credit notes. Therefore, would like to request an additional 'Next Number' field for credit note, which can come with an option to share or not to share the number sequence with invoice.

Currently trying a Work-around of putting in CN, an invoice number so far down the track, it's unlikely we'll reach it. Which seems daft to have to do this. Fixing this would be really great, and I can see others would like this also. It is very messy to have the next invoice number already used by a Credit Note. It is NOT simple & doesn't reduce the need for manual tracking. Especially if you are keeping track of invoicing on an external register to ensure all job aspects have been invoiced...(if you sell a service, rather than inventory, for example) This sequencing is thrown out of whack completely if a Credit Note occurs. Why can't the Credit Notes have their own sequence?? Or default to the original invoice number? With an additional Year prefix, to designate when the CN happened, at a glance...not just the date of the action? That can't be that difficult to do, surely? All these changes and improvements, none of which have been all that helpful for a small business that sells intellectual services... And STILL, no change to allow changes to the sizes of the columns on the invoices...

Has the separation of automatic sequencing setting for invoice and credit note been resolved? Can I have the solution on this?

This is a legal requirement in Poland and India

This is definitely needed,
- or at least allow a CN to have the same number as the invoice. INV-7431 was paid, and now I'm issuing a Credit on it, I want to be able to have CN-7431 so they are easily understood by the customer as well.Also - can we stop having invoice numbers used up every time a Draft is created? I'm tired of having to go back to the settings and fix the sequencing when the Draft is not used, or deleted.

Absolutely ridiculous, such a sophisticated software can't even do the simplest of things!!!
Just keep sales credit notes separate from sales invoices, they are 2 different and separate things, they have opposite double entries so just keep the **** sequencing separate. So stupid this software is at times! -

make more sense with different sequencing

This is vital, I can't have invoices and credit notes with the same number sequence, customers get confused enough as it is

I also wish for this feature. It would be better for the Credit Notes to have their own sequence instead of merging with the sequencing for invoices. This allows for better audit of document trail. A unique numbering sequence for every type of document is best practice.

This is really important for us and our clients, too.

This is especially important where clients migrate from other systems and want to continue with their numbering conventions.
