Plug-in: Invoice number DE

This plug-in implements the option to set invoice numbers only after charging, in order to avoid gaps in the invoice numbers.

Why is it useful for invoicing to set invoice numbers only after charging? By assigning invoice numbers only after charging, gaps in consecutive invoice numbers can be avoided. No new invoice numbers will be assigned to cancelled but not posted invoices.

Download and install

Download the plug-in with the following download link and install it in your Vertec. The exact procedure is in the article   Things worth knowing about the plug-ins described.

Requirements

• The Expert product line is a prerequisite for this plug-in.
• The Plug-in: Invoice splitting cannot be used at the same time.

Application

If Vertec assigns an invoice number, it will not be re-assigned in case of cancellation. This creates gaps in the invoice numbers. To avoid this, this plug-in only assigns an invoice number when the invoice is charged:

Before the charge, instead of the invoice number, provisorisch . Only after charging does the invoice receive an invoice number, which is retained even if it is charged several times.

Exception: If the invoice has already been posted and cancelled again, it will be given a new number when charged again. This is important so that different invoices are not carried over to the FAR with the same invoice number.

When you click the Proforma checkbox on the More Info page, the invoice number changes from provisorisch on proforma . This does not change after charging. However, before charging, the pro forma check mark can be removed again, so that the invoice number is returned to provisorisch changes and an invoice number is set when charging.

When importing the plug-in, the system setting Rechnungsnummer (fortlaufender Zähler) in the invoice section. This will change the previous system setting Nächste Rechnungsnummer no longer needed, but remains visible.

The invoice number consists of the prefix stored here, the specified length and the value under invoice number (continuous counter).

Example: The values Length = 8, Prefix = 2004 and Invoice Number (Continuous Counter) = 16 yield the Invoice Number 20040016.
