Invoice Reference Number

[Moatasim Al Masri]

Dears
I would like to ask for Accounting manager, when I create invoices, there is a Reference Number field, my understanding is this field used for company Reference Number that link company reference invoice with ofbiz system invoice generated? Is this right as a business concept? If yes, so when I fill this reference it should not duplicate with the same vendor!!

Appreciate your kind answer

Hi Moatasim,

Yes, that's the idea. I agree that OFBiz should check for duplicate invoice
reference numbers. It's unlikely but possible you might want to split one
invoice from a supplier into two or more within OFBiz. So if OFBiz sees a
duplicate reference number, it should warn you, but perhaps not prevent you
from doing it.

I suggest you create an issue in our issue tracking system, JIRA, for this.
There's some information on how to do it at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBADMIN/OFBiz+Contributors+Best+Practices
. There are some guidelines on goof JIRA practises at

.

Thanks
