Enter alpha-numeric invoice numbers for customer invoices
Description
You can enter alpha-numeric invoice numbers in Accounts Receivable and on Quick Bill invoices in Billing. You can't enter alpha-numeric invoice numbers for contract or cost invoices.
We have an enhancement request to add this option for contract and cost invoices.
NOTE:
You also can't enter invoice numbers with leading zeros or special characters in Billing.

Resolution
Workaround
You can enter alpha-numeric draw numbers, and use a custom invoice format that uses the draw number instead of the invoice number.
Most reporting in Sage 300 CRE uses the invoice number for identification. Your invoice and your reports can have different IDs if you use this workaround.
