Ensure payment of backorder customer invoices! SCN - Change Document Number allows the document number of an unposted document to be changed at any time, and not just the first time you edit the backorder. This feature is especially important for backorder invoices.

When you post an invoice which has a quantity ordered that exceeds the quantity shipped, Peachtree automatically creates a new back order invoice.

If you do not assign a new document number when you ship the backorder, customers will receive two invoices with the same document number. Reduce confusion and ensure payment of invoices with SCN - Change Document Number!

To change the document number use Enter documents and select Edit document. The first time you edit a backorder invoice, SCN - Change Document Number displays a box and allows you to enter a different document number. Enter the desired invoice number, or push F7 to assign the next document number.

To change a document number at any other time, enter a "C" at the "Accept" prompt at the bottom of the document header entry screen in the Edit Documents program.
