This is where the system automatically enters a Consecutive number for the new invoice. Consecutive numbers are loaded from the Number Series procedure in the Global Settings module. You can use the PopUp feature (F4) to search for registered supplier invoices, i.e. invoices pending for final coding. You can also access the next available consecutive number by leaving the field empty and pressing Tab or Enter. By using the shortcut key F3 in the consecutive number field all registered invoices are displayed.
If you have activated the setting Allow Registration of Invoices for Several Simultaneous Users? in the Settings procedure, no consecutive number is displayed when opening the procedure. Instead, the field displays the text ***New*** since no consecutive number is set until the invoice is saved.
