Understanding Draft and Final Invoice Numbering

In some countries, companies must number their invoices sequentially without gaps between the numbers. You can delete invoices that originate in the billing system before they are created in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Receivable system, which results in gaps between invoice numbers. To prevent these gaps, you can set up the billing system to assign a draft document type and draft invoice numbers. The system assigns sequential final invoice numbers when you create the final invoice journal entries in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Receivable system.

To use draft and final invoice numbering, you must associate the draft document type with the final document type. For example, if you want to use DF as the draft document type and RI as the final document type, you must establish a relationship between these two document types. You set up this relationship in the Draft and Final Invoice Document table (F48S001).

To use draft and final invoice numbering, you must also select the Invoice Numbering Control option in the Service Billing Constants program (P48091).
