[chadski021]

Im little bit confuse how the invoice number works what i want is if i click the generate invoice it generates an invoice# but when i create a new record the invoice# should be empty

Are you using the Auto Enter?

[chadski021]

No What i want is if i click this button it generates a invoice #

Read about the Auto Enter Serial Number function.

 

Open up the "Invoice" example file that came with your FileMaker App.

 

Create a company

Create a few customers

Create a few products

Create a new invoice. 

 

Tear these files apart and you will see how the Invoice ID number is created in the Manage Database, see the options for the field Invoice ID.

Why do they need to be sequential? Surely so long as they are unique, that will be fine?? We use a UUID generation for invoice numbers - especially if they are not created upon record creation...
