If you have created documents/transactions using that prefix you will not be able to edit it
If you have not created any documents/transaction using that prefix you will be able to edit it
Yes, I understand this now. However, think of the following
If you have created documents/transactions using that prefix, you can change by editing the Reference Pattern field
If you have not created any documents/transaction using that prefix, you can change by editing the Reference Pattern field
Hence, there is no use to mention the field 'Prefix' at all IMHO since it plays no role at all.
Prefix is supposedly already a 'part' of Reference Pattern normally, therefore there is no need to
separate them nor give illusion that you can edit them separately
now you may or may not be able to edit the prefix (in this case the prefix is 'PB') depending if you have entered transactions using this reference or not;
So to reiterate:-
If you have created documents/transactions using that prefix you will not be able to edit it
If you have not created any documents/transaction using that prefix you will be able to edit it
I understand better how these 'prefix' supposed to work. I think this is a minor area that can be improved for readability sake, because from what I see, FA seem to give you option to edit prefix, but when you click edit there simply no options to do that. It's inferred that you gotta 'override' it manually by specifying in Reference Pattern. Maybe it's just best to remove 'Prefix' column altogether in future ?
]]>The lack of edit for transaction reference prefix is that there may be other transactions using it. Use with care manually.
I can understand with the lack of edit scenario
But there is no option/column for "Prefix" when you add new either. So one could wonder why the need to put "Prefix" there if you essentially can't edir nor add ?
]]>Its simple you can do it like this.
Goto Setup -> Transaction ReferencesSales Invoice SI{001}/{YYYY} Sales Order SO{001}/{YYYY}I hope it will work for you.
Alright awesome kvvradha ! I think that should be thr fix that should work for now
Havent got a chance to try it, but it should be okay
Many thanks !
]]>Sales Invoice SI{001}/{YYYY}
Sales Order SO{001}/{YYYY}I hope it will work for you.
]]>Just trying to add the prefix to whatever current transaction reference are
Basically I hit Company Setup => Transaction References and trying to add prefix to some or all, but there was no option to do so
*Oh and btw, there is no option to add/edit Prefix when creating new transaction reference either
]]>I want to set standard prefix like "SI" for Sales Invoices and "SO" for Sales Order etc.
On Company Setup => Transaction References there are predefined settings and values that you 'should' be able to do so. There is a Prefix column, but when I edit Sales Invoices for example there is no way to enter value "SI" as a prefix
Is this something you supposed to set on the background ? and not on FA web ?
Thanks,
