Sequential invoice numbering by (own) tax registration number

This functionality is specific for India.

A tax registration number is a unique number assigned to a company by the tax authority. Every invoice line has the tax registration number. Each invoice is identified by an invoice sequence number.

If an order has several transaction lines with different tax registration numbers, LN generates consecutive invoice sequence numbers for the invoices that have the same tax registration number.

For example, if a sales order is created for the sale of goods and installation charges, both the sales tax registration number and service tax registration number must be printed on the invoice. Only one tax registration number can be printed on an invoice, therefore you must create separate order lines for goods and installation charges resulting in two separate invoices with the correct tax registration number. If you use sequential invoice numbering, LN generates separate invoice sequence number for each tax registration number.

To set up invoice series by registration number, in the Invoice Series by Registration Number (cisli1501m00l) session enter the following:

  • The sequence number
  • The transaction type
  • The default series for tax sequence number.
Note

Before the order lines are composed into an invoice, the transaction type and the series are defaulted from the Invoice Series by Registration Number (cisli1501m000) session. Otherwise, the transaction type and the series are defaulted from the Invoicing Parameters (cisli0100m000) session . The tax registration ID and the corresponding business partner tax registration ID are printed on the invoice report.
