Hello,
Referencing to Ray Carnes's response about changing the invoice sequence format, I want that the number in the sequence must be initialized to 1 every new month.
For example invoice sequences should be like below:

  • in January 2014 :
    • 14/01/001
    • 14/01/002
      .
      .
      .
    • 14/01/xxx
  • in February 2014 :

    • 14/02/001
    • 14/02/002
      .
      .
      .

    • 14/02/xxx

And the same logic for the other months.

Thanks for your help.

I've noticed that people are still asking if the option is available. Yes, the option is there, and you can configure the sequence as shown in the screenshot.

Hello Mr. Mustafa,

The option is available in the newer version! May I know which version you are currently using?

Thank you for your response.

I'm currently subscribed to standard package and using online version.
In order to change the month, what I've to do is manually go to actions in accounting/invoice and then from actions 'resequence'.

Although it does the job, but 1) it is manual, and 2) it then causes a warning to appear on the invoice tab that there're "Gaps in the sequence".

Thanks
Mustafa
