Topic: direct invoice reference

When entering a direct invoice, the sales order created get assigned the reference 'auto'.  Is there any way that could be changed so it uses the next_reference number from the sys_types table?  It is sort of a mess having all the 'auto' references mixed in with the references generated with an invoice created from a sales order. 'auto' makes too many duplicate references.

Thanks,

Re: direct invoice reference

Yes, this can be fixed in po_entry_items.php and cart_class.inc.
But the auto reference is used for GRN/DN/SO/PO created in background for  Direct Invoices. Changing this to regular reference will disable  auto-deleting those auomatic documents on invoice voiding.

If you entry invoice directly without related SO/DN you normally does not care about auto  documents.
