Symptoms

We have an issue with invoice number validation. In out business practice, we often receive an invoice from a supplier and then a credit memo with the same number. When we try to create them in the application, we get an error because there cannot be two different document types with the same number for one supplier. This is really inconvenient for us, as in those cases we have to add a 0 or some letters to the number of the credit memo, just to be able to create. So we end up having a credit memo number that it is not the legal one.

We need to be able to do some setup so that the invoice number validation is by supplier and by document type.
