Joe, et. al. I found part of my problem. Why auto shows in the invoice as the order number. Apparently you can change in the config.php and i did not realize that until i was looking at the sales_order_entry code.

I still dont know why it put a reference number in sometimes and at other times puts auto...perhaps i will figure that out later.

At least now i can get a unique number on the invoice when printed Progress.

Thanks Joe for the quick response. What i do not understand is why when i "seemingly" do the same transaction it produces a different result. I see nothing i am doing different with each transaction...( I know that is what they all say:) When i look at the Invoice, instead of a number, i see the word "auto"... on the background documents that is ok...but not on the customer invoice there you would want a unique number..

I want to create the invoice number automatically so they will stay unique...but since it is a service kind of business...i would rather do the direct invoice.

When you create a direct invoice, a delivery is created in the background. These background documents get the reference 'auto'. As you don't use them, just let them be.

I have a customer setup... John I do direct sales invoices to john... However sometimes the Reference gets automatically incremented...and other times it shows "auto". Always from sames sales location, same salesman. I have looked through the code and cannot find why this is happening.

The only thing i notice is those that have a reference incremented... nothing is in the delivery notes... On those that don't increment...it has some delivery notes like date, ref, total... But for the life of me, i never entered any delivery notes. So, what am i missing? Please educate an old man.
