Purpose

Set/reset the current reference number for various forms.

Procedure

Enter the first/next number to appear on each respective form. Front Accounting will increment this number by one each time the corresponding form (ie. invoices, sales orders, etc) is created. These numbers can be reset by re-entering the desired starting number.

Example 1: If you wish your invoices to have 6 digits and start at 500000 simply enter that figure into Next Reference and it will be used as the next reference number. FA will automatically increment this number each time a new document of the specified type is created.

Tips and Tricks

  • FA can work with alpha-numeric references too. So, if you want to prepend sales orders with an S you would enter: S0001.
