GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 327218
Maintain separate invioce number sequences for AR and AP invoices
Last modified: 2018-06-29 20:55:11 UTC
PREAMBLE -------- If I understand correctly the next invoice number is calculated based on the value of: <slot:value type="integer">49</slot:value> in <slot:key>gncInvoice</slot:key> The next number is calculated from the value of integer and subsequently the xml file is updated with the last number allocated at some point later on. This process applies to both client and vendor invoices, with the next invioce number coming from the same source. REQUEST DETAL ------------- The enhancement I propose is to maintain a separate invoice sequence numbers for client and vendor invoices. When I ran a company in the UK it was certainly common practise to do it this way. Now that I live and work in France I can say that this enhancement would be useful to many businesses here aswell. Apologies if this was a bit long winded, or has been discussed before, but thanks for listening anyhow.

Derek, this patch looks pretty straightforward; any reason not to apply?
This is a feature I am also interested in, it's slightly confusing for me to have the same number sequence for A/P and A/R, is there any reason this patch has not made it into SVN? I ask again only becuase it's been months since a reply on this bug.
I've applied this (with a small change to also support Employee Expense Vouchers and Jobs) to SVN trunk. I'm not sure it should be back ported, so I haven't marked it as such. fixed in svn as r16720.
