manual invoice numbering through API and automatic numbering in visma.net GUI

[Gabriella Hennings]

Hi 

In visma.net there is one setting for numbering of invoice etc, which says manul numbering when making an import. (they have automatic numbering when creating in gui)

Is it then possible to push a custom invoice number for the invoice when creating an invoice through the API? 

I have tried by setting the field ReferenceNumber when posting the invoice, but it doesn't get the result I expect. The invoice number is still getting set by visma and not through the values from the API request.

Hello, 

This feature is currently available on the following endpoints, so please make sure you are using the "overrideNumberseries" on POST CustomerInvoice V2.

POST Customer

POST CustomerDebitNote V2

POST SalesOrder

POST Supplier

POST Journal Transaction V2

POST PurchaseOrder

POST Supplier Invoice

POST CustomerCreditNote V2

POST CustomerInvoice V2

Visma.net Financials API updates for version 8.25 (September 2020)

Override number series for POST CustomerInvoice V2
You are now able to override the number series of a customer invoice by specifying the field overrideNumberSeries=true when creating a customer invoice. This functionality has to be enabled in the Number series (CS201010) window by selecting option Allow manual numbering on imports. You also can specify a longer customer invoice number when using overrideNumberSeries than what is specified in number series for customer invoice. 

1-Set Allow manual numbering on imports = true on the UI
2-Set

 "overrideNumberSeries": {
    "value": true
  },

3-Add 

 "referenceNumber": {
    "value": "string"
  },

Hi,

To be able to not use the automatic number series when posting via the API you need to include the field:

  "overrideNumberSeries": {
    "value": true
  },

  This allow you to post the invoice with the number you specify in the referenceNumber field.
