SageForum for UK versions of Sage 50- Help and support.

Its my first post!

How can i remove the 'Autonumber' from the 'inv No' field.
Its stressing me out!

Thanks in advance!

You can not.

Sage will always automatically assign a new number to each invoice unless you type a number (which has not been used) into the field where it says "auto-number"

Begs the question, why don't you want auto number?

Thats the problem, i dont want to create a series of invoice numbers, i have to assign separate invoice numbers for practice, to each invoice eg- 34, 77, 999.

But how can i type into the box left by the accursed 'Autonumber'

Thanks

Hi James

As brucedenney said you can't get rid of the autonumber, however if you go into settings >> invoice & order defaults (or invoice defaults depending on the version) & ensure that lock autonumber is not ticked this should then allow you to over type autonumber with the invoice number you require, however this is only a numeric field so you could not add alpha characters or symbols.

hope this helps
