Note: The invoice number length includes the S but not the generation number.

Validate generation number length

For example, if the system-defined generation number length is three, then all generation numbers must have three characters for be valid entries.

Note: The generation number length includes all characters after the dot (.) in the invoice number.

Note: You cannot activate this preference if you did not enter Yes in the Validate order ID length field.
