It seems that the duplication check for purchase ref doesnt seem to work if using the copy invoice/purchase, i have to split some invoices due to part being exempt so i can tick the box at the bottom, however it doesnt tell me the ref has been used, evn if i clear the box and re-enter it, as i am splitting it i would be adding -1 or similar to the ref, but would expect the warning to show until i had added this, even more so if i had cleared the ref.
cheers
If you copy an invoice I guess it would stand to reason that the purchase reference would also get copied? I’m not sure exactly what you’re expecting the system to do here.
i understand that, but surley with it being a copy, and the ref wouldnt normally be the same that either it should show the ref has already been used, or even empty the field, to avoid having duplicate supplier refs, its very easy to forget to change this.
Normally making copies is for the body of the invoice/purchase and the date and supplier ref would 99% of the time be different from the original, i cant see any vaild reason why you would need to duplicate a unique supplier ref upon making a copy to cut down on the input time of invoices / purchases.
I have heard of cases where the same purchase ref. has been used across multiple invoices. I don’t think this practice is that uncommon when a monthly payment is being made for a single item/service.
I’l see if we can get the duplicate check to fire on load, so at least you’ll see a red warning if the purchase ref has already been used.
I use the same purchase reference across different purchases/suppliers.
