New Invoice Number Assignment

When you enter a new bill online, you can enable the system to automatically assign an invoice number, or you can manually enter individual invoice numbers. To assign invoice numbers manually at bill entry, select the User Definable - For New Bills check box on the Invoice Number page. If you enter your own invoice number, the system ensures that a unique number is assigned to the business unit when you save the bill.

To assign a new invoice number to a bill:

1. Select a business unit on the Standard Billing - Add A New Value search page.

2. Enter the bill type identifier, bill source, and customer to have the system populate the fields on the bill header pages that use the default information associated with these values.

3. Click Add to accept the next system-assigned invoice number; alternately, enter an invoice number manually and click Add.
