Field help (BSIPFXINV) 

Enter the invoice prefix for this BP. You can create several lines for different prefixes if needed.

Examples:

If your invoices begin with a fixed “yearly prefix,” (i.e., 2016-01211, 2015-12299), create two lines with 2016- and 2015- as prefixes. In this example, you need to create an additional line with 2017- when you start invoicing for 2017.

Note: Each time you assign a new prefix, you need to create a new line for that prefix.

If invoice numbers are purely sequential, (i.e., 1 … 99999), create 9 lines with the prefix 1, 2, 3, etc., and a length range between 1 and 5 to recognize the invoice numbers. If you selected the Invoice no. always numeric check box, just enter one line with no prefix and a length range between 1 and 5.
