Invoice and packing slip numbering for Latvia and Lithuania

This article explains how to set up number sequences for invoices and packing slips, and how to set up self-numbering ranges for documents.

For legal entities that have a primary address in Latvia or Lithuania, you can set up conditional numbering for invoices and packing slips that is based on the assigned user or user group.

Set up number sequences for invoices and packing slips

You can set up unique document number sequences for master data records and transaction records. If the tax authorities for your country or region assign your organization a specific document number sequence or format, you can associate the number sequence with a document type. You can assign each document number sequence to a user or user group. In this way, only the designated user or user group can assign the numbers in the series to a document. You can set up number sequences for invoices and packing slips on the Invoice numbering setup page. (Click Organization administration > Number sequences > Invoice numbering setup.) Use the information in the following table to complete the fields on the Invoice numbering setup page.

Field	Description
Numbering	Enter the prefix for the document number sequence.
Module	Select the module that will use the number series. The module that you select determines the options that are available in the Type field. For customer invoices and customer packing slips, select Sales in this field.
Number sequence code	Select the number sequence code for the data area where the number series is applied.
Type	Select whether the number sequence applies to invoices or packing slips.

Code	Select the ID of the user or user group that the number series is assigned to for invoice numbering.

Set up document self-numbering ranges

You can assign specific number sequences to invoices and packing slips that are generated in the Accounts receivable, Accounts payable, Inventory management, and Project management and accounting modules. You can also specify individual number sequences for different users and user groups, customer groups and vendor groups, or warehouses. To set up number sequences for customer invoices and vendor invoices, use the Counters management page. (Click Organization administration > Number sequences > Counters management.) You can define the number sequence by user or user group, or for specific customer groups and vendor groups. Use the information in the following table to complete the fields on the Counters management page.

Field	Description
Module	Select the module that the selected number sequence applies to.
Account code	Select whether the number sequence code applies to all records in the selected module or to a specific group in the module.
Code	Select the code for the selected module. Note: The Code field is available only if Group is selected in the Account code field.
