Can I override an invoice number?

[former_member1366674]

When a customer takes a deduction on a payment I want to enter a debit memo that has the #number referenced that the customer took as the invoice number.

For example if the customer took DM123Y for $5000 I would want to create a debit memo to put back on the account and instead of a random number as the DM number that takes a lot of back tracking to figure out what the customer did later. I want to have the debit memo on our agings be DM123Y so that the collector when calling state you took debit memo DM123Y and the customer knows what they are talking about.

Can you change the invoice number? I have done this in every other ERP system I have worked in and struggling with this in SAP.
