Regarding Vendor Invoice Number

Dear Friends,

Is there an option in NAV 5.0 that allows repetition of Vendor Invoice No in Purchase Order?

Suppose, I am trying to post a Purchase Order for Vendor X in 2010, with the Vendor Invoice No 1. But if there was a Vendor Invoice No 1 against Vendor X in 2009, then the system will not allow to post the Purchase Order.

The Error, "Purchase Invoice 1 already exists for this vendor" will be shown by the system.

Currently I am handling this issue by prefixing the Vendor Invoice No with the current year.
But this is not advisable in our scenario.

It would be great if anybody could provide a solution for this.

Regards & Thanks in Advance

    There is not really a question here since you know it's a problem.

    You can't have the same inv# 2x.
    2009-001
    2009-002
    2010-001
    2010-002

    is the way to go. Why is it "not advisable in our scenario."

    seems like you'll have to update your scenario. Perhaps if you need some kind of COUNTER you can create a new field.

    I am guessing the following your supplier starts each year with the same numbering series again and again ?

    New Numbering series didn't do it.

    Its where it takes the Vendor invoice number and transfer it to the GL external document field.

    SO you will have to have some sort of differential identifer in the field that transfer through to the GL to be unique
