Invoice Type Counters

The Invoice Type Counters page allows authorized users to view and define the next available invoice number by invoice type. The system automatically assigns invoice numbers by year.

1. To access the Invoice Type Counters page, go to Maintenance > Financial Management > Miscellaneous Billing > Invoice Types. On the Invoice Type List page, click New or the Code hyperlink in the list to open an existing Invoice Type record.
2. Click Counters. The default sort order is by Year (in descending order).

If needed, click Refresh to repopulate and update the list to include any changes other authorized users may have made. 

Add a Counter

To add an invoice type counter, follow the steps below:

1. To create a new counter click New. The Invoice Type Counter pop-up window appears.
2. In Year, type the year of the invoice type counter for the next invoice number. The combination of the Invoice Type and Year fields should be unique. The year must be greater than or equal to 2000.
3. In Next Invoice Number, type the next number to be assigned to an invoice for the invoice type. The current counter number cannot exist in any of the miscellaneous billing transaction tables for the Invoice Type. The number automatically increments based upon the usage in the current year. The acceptable range is 1 through 999,999,999.
4. Click OK to save the changes and close the window.

Delete a Counter

To delete an invoice type counter, select it in the list and click Delete. 

The Delete button is hidden or disabled if you do not have the appropriate security permissions. If you are authorized, when you click Delete you are prompted to confirm the deletion.
