Feature - Extend the length of invoice number for vendor invoice

(2) ShareShare

Posted on by CU30040643-0 4
Hi All,
 
We have a requirement to provide Vendor Invoice numbers that are more than 20 characters. When we enter more than 20 characters in ''invoice'' field in vendor invoice journal, system is prompting to enable a feature. Please see below screen shot.

when I go to the feature and read through the description it's a bit confusing. It says if we don't have a prior customization to capture 20+ characters, then it suggest to reach out to Microsoft to get a specific flight enabled. Previously I have seen situations where MS suggests to reach out to them when we have customizations in the specific area but this one is reverse where if there is no customization, it is asking to reach out to MS. 
 
Has anyone enabled this feature recently? Pls share your experiences.
 

 
Thanks & Regards,
Vijitha P

    Hi,

    Please check with your team to confirm whether you already have a customization in place for extending the invoice number.
    If such a customization exists, I recommend evaluating it further with a developer by activating the feature in a UAT or DEV environment to investigate the issue.

    If no customization exists, as Adis mentioned, you can simply activate the feature in UAT. Once it’s verified, you can proceed to enable it in production.

    Hi,
     
    It is confusing I agree. We activated it since November 2024 and it works. We dont have customizations on the Vendor invoice number.
     
    If you dont have customizations as well, I would suggest to enable it in a sandbox, test it and enable it in PROD.
     
     
     

    Kind regards, Adis
