How can I prevent the external invoice number from being transferred in the "Description" field?

By default, the data for invoices with order reference from edoc invoice is automatically transferred to edoc D365 FO invoice cockpit. In the Description field of a posted invoice, the Description field is then automatically filled in with the external invoice number from edoc invoice.

In some scenarios, this default behavior is undesirable, e.g. if other information is required in the Description field.

You can change the default behavior of edoc D365 FO invoice cockpit by activating the option Prevent automatic filling of the invoice description with external invoice number.

By activating the option Prevent automatic filling of the invoice description with external invoice number, the external invoice number from the edoc invoice field Description of a posted invoice with order reference is ignored.

Here's how

1. In the navigation bar, click on edoc invoice cockpit > Setup > Bases > Parameters.

2. Open the Invoice section.

3. Move the sliders under Invoice with order reference - settings for Prevent automatic filling of the invoice description with external invoice number to Yes.

The external invoice number from edoc invoice is ignored during data transfer and the Description field remains empty.
