Sales Order Number To Invoice
Hello,
Is there a way to set up NetSuite so when the sales order is invoiced, the invoice number will be the same as the sale order number?
It’s impossible, if you want this feature, you need to create a custom field and use it instead of default one.
I agree with Manuel – the “problem” ultimately with any ERP system is that you could have any number of fulfillments or invoices off of the same Sales Order (e.g. SO01 > IF01 > INV01 could also have SO01 > IF01, IF02 > INV01, INV02). Not to mention if you end up deleting a document, that throws off the pattern as well. If SO02 is created in error and deleted, SO03 is then generated and copied to IF02. If you wish to have the same number all the way through, the best way is to track it through the “PO #” field, “Memo” field, or a custom field.
