Why the Xero Invoice Number of the generated Invoices is so long? Is it necessary?
Answer
Simplifying the concept: while in Xero you need to provide a strictly unique Invoice Number otherwise it can reject the invoice, in InforLN an Invoice is only unique if you provide at least a minimum subset of values.
In addition, thanks to this naming convention, a 1 to 1 correspondence can be set up between Xero and InforLN.
The Sales Invoice Number is composed in that way to avoid InforLN conflicts. The format in details is represented by below.
...
- 303: The InforLN Company number. In the example, 303 is Test Linea Light UK.
- SI1: The InforLN docuiment document type.
- 220000101: The Document number
Simplifying the concept: while in Xero you need to provide a strictly unique Invoice Number otherwise it can reject the invoice, in InforLN an Invoice is only unique if you provide at least these three values.
In addition, thanks to this naming convention, a 1 to 1 correspondence can be set up between Xero and InforLN. For Purchase Invoice Numbers, naming convention is instead described as follows:
