Specify the invoice number length in this field. We
recommend that you set this field to 12, which is the maximum.
CAUTION: Follow these rules when
setting up the invoice number length on the
Order
Entry Parameters form:
- This should be one of the very first tasks you perform when
setting up your system. Until the invoice length is set, you cannot
run any of the invoice processing forms.
- The invoice number length must be the same for all sites in
the system. It must be set at each site; it cannot be replicated
to the other sites. When you enter a value here, the system verifies
it against the Invoice Length value set for other sites - if the
other sites are replicating at least one category containing the
coparms_all table with this site.
- Once the Invoice Length field is set to a non-null value, the
value can never be updated.
- We recommend that you set this length and save the parameter
record while no other users are in the system. After you save
the change, the system updates about 50 database tables, so it
will take a long time to process.
- After you update and save the invoice length, log yourself
and all other users out of SyteLine.
This resets the session variables. Then use the Configuration
Manager utility (on the utility server) to publish form changes.
This will clear the form cache on your users' computers the next
time the users log in to SyteLine.
