This new function is useful when entering invoices and the document has no invoice number. A client wants to improve it in two ways.

1) They want the option to auto-generate a unique number in the format XX-YY-BTCH-NTRY, where XX is the two character source code (IN, AD, MC), YY is the fiscal year and BTCH and NTRY are the transaction's batch and entry number (no hyphens would be needed)

2) They want the ability for the document number to auto-generate in a manual check batch Cash Invoice field; in fact what's even more important would be for it to auto-generate when importing, if the auto-generate option is set in the vendor record and the field is not a selected field in the import template.

As an aside, why under Profile | Batch/Vendor are you allowed to enter up to 20 characters in the Invoice No. format field when the invoice field itself is only 12 characters?

Thanks
