How-to Use the Same Number on a Sales Quote and Sales Order

In Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC), we have number series that assigns the next sequential number to any new transaction. Due to this, a quote can have a different number assigned when it gets converted to an order. (Example: QTE0005 can become ORD0010).

Customers have begun to ask if there is a way to keep the same number across different transaction types, so we have created a customization that will use the same number and add a prefix to define the transaction type. (Samples below)

We can let the customers define the transaction prefix as needed and the transaction types they would like the number to be the same. The more transaction types, the greater the effort.

If you are interested in this custom numbering, please reach out to us at Support@BondConsultingServices.com or schedule a consultation with one of our experts.
