[Vtigercrm-developers] Changing invoice numbers

[Jens Hamisch]

Hi,


originally the invoice number was just the CRMEntity ID.
As it is for any other entity like quotes, so, ...
But: hasn't there been a recent change on that (just invoices)?

What about a generic solution to that issue, too?
I was already thinking about introducing "ranges of numbers",
a table that defines the format of particular numbers, like
invoice-numbers, product-numbers etc.

Especially for invoices we need some automatism. Some govern-
ments - Germany !!! - forces companies to provide an determi-
nistic numbering scheme for invoices. So this field cannot be
assigned manually to each invoice.
