Important: Enable this feature to avoid interruptions in the numeration of the released payment-related documents. If this feature is not enabled, such numbering interruptions occur in Billing when you cancel (delete) a Credit Memo (CM), Debit Memo (DM), Payment, or Refund document in the status Hold, which the document receives at creation.
The Continuous Numeration of Accounts Receivable feature allows you to ensure continuous document numbering of payment-related documents in Billing. The feature does so by enabling Billing to assign draft numbers to documents in the following way:
- When a new CM, DM, Payment, or Refund document is created (and hence receives the status Hold), Billing assigns a draft number to it.
- When the document is released from the Hold status and achieves its next status, Billing assigns a permanent released number to it. If the document is deleted, it doesn't receive a released number. The released numbers are assigned without gaps or interruption.
The feature allows the provider and reseller users:
- To configure the draft numbering for payment-related documents. See Configuring Draft Numbering.
- To create documents with automatically assigned draft numbers. See Creating Documents with Draft Numbers.
- To release documents with draft numbers from the Hold status with automatically assigned permanent numbers, where the permanent numeration has no interruptions. See Releasing Documents with Draft Numbers from Hold Status and Checking Permanent Numbers.
