Sales Invoicing Company Controls Edit MOAB

You can use the Company Controls screen MOAB to create or update controls at the Sales Invoicing company level for an existing Accounts Receivable company. The company controls are a collection of processing options you can use to customise the way each company operates. For example, you can designate one company to use automatic document numbering and designate another company to use manual document numbering. Some of the controls on this screen can be overridden on the Ledger Controls screen MOAD or Document Type screen MOAF for added flexibility.

Sales Invoicing document numbers must be longer than Accounts Receivable transaction reference numbers.
