ERPNext Starting number for next Purchase Invoice, Purchase Order, Sales Invoice, Sales Order, etc

[Robert Miller]

We'd like to set starting number for each of the documents generated to match up with our prior system.

Is there a way to set these within ERPNext settings ?  or do we manual set a field in the database for each ?

Also, one of our companies resets the invoice each month  (e.g. This month invoices start with number 404001  next month 405001 etc.   How would be have this automatically happen ?

Hi Roger,

It is possible using Setup > Settings > Naming Series and Update Series option.

Is there a pattern in the prefix that you use to generate the series?

For example you can have a series like:

SI-.YY.MM.-.#####

That will generate a value like:

SI-1408-00001

Note: A prefix like SI is necessary in the system to maintain separate counts for Sales Invoice, Delivery Note etc. if you want to maintain the same Year Month pattern in all transactions.

-Anand.
