The system allows numbering documents by legal entities.
By default, documents are numbered according to the rule: the last saved number plus 1. Thus, the numbers can grow too large to be, for example, printed correctly due to FastReport layouts restrictions.
If it is required to start numbering with a specific number, then you can use the option of changing document numbering counters.
If the By legal entities rule is selected in the numbering settings, then the counter number is changed from the Legal entities dictionary.
The numbering rules are set separately for different document types: delivery notes, invoices or payment documents.

To change the document numbering counter:

• Go to Dictionaries > Counterparties > Legal entities
• Place the cursor on the legal entity for which new numbering counters are required
• Use the Document numbering counters… context menu item or select the Document > Document numbering counters... main menu item
• In the window that opens, enter the required number.
  

If the delivery notes numbering has the Separate numbering for incoming, outgoing, and internal delivery notes flag set, then the counter number is set for each document type separately. If the flag is not set, the counter number is set for all documents.

• Incoming — receipt notes, returns from customers, receipt invoices, receipt payment documents
• Outgoing — delivery notes, returns to suppliers, expenditure invoices, expenditure payment documents
• Internal — internal transfers, collation statements, complectations, decomplectations, processing notes.

Delivery notes:

• Incoming/all — the number of the last created incoming delivery note, if the Separate numbering for incoming, outgoing, and internal delivery notes flag is set. If not, it is the number of the last delivery note regardless of document types
• Outgoing — the number of the last created outgoing delivery note, if the Separate numbering for incoming, outgoing, and internal delivery notes flag is set. If not, this field value is always 0
• Internal — the number of the last created internal delivery note, if the Separate numbering by incoming, source and internal delivery notes flag is set. If not, then this field value is always 0.

Invoices:

• Incoming/all — the number of the last created incoming invoice, if the Separate numbering for incoming, outgoing, and internal documents flag is set. If not, it is the number of the last created invoice regardless of document types
• Outgoing — the number of the last created outgoing invoice, if the Separate numbering for incoming, outgoing, and internal delivery notes flag is set. If not, this field value is always 0.

Payment documents:

• Incoming/all — the number of the last created incoming payment document, if the Separate numbering for incoming, outgoing, and internal documents flag is set. If not, it is the number of the last created payment document regardless of document types
• Outgoing — the number of the last created outgoing invoice, if the Separate numbering for incoming, outgoing, and internal delivery notes flag is set. If not, this field value is always 0.
