Displaying Leading Zeros in Invoice Numbers

If your firm configured Vision to display leading zeros in invoice numbers, you can still choose whether or not to display the leading zeros on reports, on invoices, and on the Billing Backup report.

If you do not want to display leading zeros on reports and forms in Vision, clear the Display invoice leading zeros option on the General tab of the Accounting System Settings form. You may want to clear this option to make reading the information easier on reports. Even with this option cleared, the full invoice number is stored in the database and is required for transaction entry.

If you do not want to display leading zeros on invoices and the Billing Backup report, clear the Show invoice Leading Zeros option on the General tab of the Invoice Template Editor form for the billing template that you use when you generate invoices.

Leading zeros always display in the following places:

  • Invoices on File dialog box in Interactive Billing
  • Expense/Consultant detail grid in Interactive Billing
  • Invoice Lookup in Cash Receipt Transaction Entry
  • Voucher Lookup in Voucher Transaction Entry
