Preview Invoice Number (Name/Series) Before Saving the Document

Problem Statement:
You can’t see the auto-generated invoice number until after saving, which is frustrating when verifying sequences or matching to external records. In my multi-location businesses, this causes issues when coordinating entries across teams.

Proposed Feature:
Display a preview of the generated invoice number (based on the series) in the form header or a read-only field before submission. Update it dynamically if the series changes.

Benefits/Use Case:
Allows users to confirm numbering upfront, reducing post-save amendments. For example, in UAE VAT compliance, previewing helps ensure sequential invoicing without surprises.

a field can be added in doctype for previous ID and a client script to fetch it … i guess that will suffice your requirement. ad these ids are auto generated we dont have to keep track of it and system will auto generate based on number of documents submitted
