In the Chilean localization, it is necessary to load CAFs in any system where tax documents (invoices, credit notes, dispatch guides, etc.) will be issued to the SII (Servicio de Impuestos Interno), in order to support commercial operations performed.
A common issue is uploading test CAFs into a production database, which will cause the document sequence to start from 1 when the production sequence is already at a higher number.
One solution found was to continuously click the "Validate" button on the document to consume the test CAFs one by one until reaching the real sequence number. This solution is cumbersome for the client, as sometimes this sequence can be at 20,000, meaning 20,000 clicks on validate.
The new solution focuses on changing the document sequence, thereby avoiding the need for multiple clicks. To do this, follow these steps:
- Activate developer mode
- Go to Settings
- Select the Technical menu
- Go to Sequences and Identifiers > Sequences
- Select the record: l10n_cl_edi_stock.stock_picking_caf_sequence
- Set the "Next Number" field to the next CAF in the sequence for the dispatch guide you need.
