Set a collection code
Add your own reference — such as an ERP voucher number or bank reference — to a collection, for reconciling it against your other systems. This is separate from the collection’s own serial number, which the system assigns and you cannot change.
Before you start
- You need the
sales:collections/setCodepermission. - Your workspace’s configured workflow must currently allow setting a code on this collection’s status — it is not always available.
Steps
- Open the collection’s details and choose Set code.
- Enter the code — up to 10 characters.
- Choose Save.
What can go wrong
Saving fails with a raw error instead of a clear message. If your code is longer than 10 characters, the app does not always catch this before sending it, so you may see a technical-looking error rather than a plain “too long” message. Shorten the code to 10 characters or fewer and try again.
