Naming series not updating

ERPNext
1

I added a new series list for sales invoices: INV-.YYYY.####
I updated the prefix’s value (and reloaded afterwards), but when I create a new sales invoice it still starts at INV-20170001 instead of the updated value.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? I’m using hosted ERPNext v7.2.22.

@Baco
Can you please elaborate with a example what naming series you wish to have for sales invoice.

INV-.YYYY.#### is perfectly fine. The problem is that it has to start from INV-20170017 instead of INV-20170001 since we already sent 16 invoices previously. That’s why I updated the prefix’s value to 16, but it doesn’t seem to work.

This is default feature to start new naming series from #001.
You need to set current value 16 to start invoice series from INV-20170016

It work for us, you can set current value for series in naming series.

I think this happens to custom naming series. The update value wont take effect in custom naming series.

@Baco what is frappe and erpnext version?

Create a new series under the name INV-2017.#### besides INV-.YYYY.####
Select Prefix INV-2017.####, then change the Current Value
You can delete INV-2017.#### after that
