Default Invoice# Appearing in 4-4

Question

Ever since we upgraded to V25, a very long, odd invoice number appears in the Invoice # field when starting up Sage 100 Contractor. Before this, that field would be empty until an invoice number was put in and then it would go to the next number. It no long does this, the system seems to be putting in random invoice numbers. Is there a way to turn this off so the field is empty upon first opening Sage?

Hi SYOUNGADMIN. This was a change in version 25.2 where it now looks at the highest purely numeric value to determine the next number when NEXT is set as the default entry in the field's properties. We did have pushback from several customers on this when an older record may have had a much longer number than the current sequence being used. In the latest update (version 25.2.162) we added an option to revert back to the prior numbering system. Please see this Knowledgebase article for details and instructions.
