Invoice Numbering with Oracle NetSuite

How invoice numbering works with the Oracle NetSuite integration in Re-Leased — configure Re-Leased or NetSuite numbering, understand the four setting combinations and their outcomes, and know what happens to invoices created in each system.

Updated over a week ago

When integrated with Oracle NetSuite, Re-Leased defaults to using NetSuite's invoice numbering. You can change this, but the outcome depends on settings configured in both systems. Review the combinations below with your NetSuite administrator before making changes.



Configuring Invoice Numbering in Re-Leased

  1. Navigate to Settings > Manage Add-ons and Integrations > NetSuite > View Details > Settings.

  2. Use the toggle to switch between Re-Leased invoice numbering and Oracle NetSuite invoice numbering.

On initial connection, this defaults to NetSuite invoice numbering.

Configuring Invoice Numbering in Oracle NetSuite

  1. In NetSuite, navigate to Setup > Company > Auto-generated Numbers.

  2. Under the Document Numbers tab, find the Invoices row.

  3. Use the Allow Override checkbox to control whether Re-Leased can set invoice numbers in NetSuite.

Setting Combinations and Outcomes

The behaviour depends on how both settings are configured together:

  • Use NetSuite numbering + Allow Override unchecked — NetSuite numbers override all invoices in both systems. ✅ Recommended default.

  • Use NetSuite numbering + Allow Override checked — May result in multiple invoices sharing the same number after syncing. ⚠️ Avoid this combination.

  • Use Re-Leased numbering + Allow Override unchecked — NetSuite does not allow Re-Leased to override; NetSuite numbers still apply to all invoices.

  • Use Re-Leased numbering + Allow Override checked — Re-Leased numbers apply to invoices created in Re-Leased. Invoices created in NetSuite retain their NetSuite numbers.



Default Numbering Behaviour

  1. An invoice created in Re-Leased is initially assigned a Re-Leased invoice number.

  2. After approval and a successful sync to NetSuite, it receives a NetSuite invoice number.

  3. The NetSuite number is sent back to Re-Leased and replaces the original number.

Note: Invoices created directly in NetSuite retain their NetSuite numbers when synced to Re-Leased. Changing numbering settings may affect historical data and reporting — consult your financial team before making adjustments.
