3777964 - Calendar Year as Suffix Option Not Available For Customer Invoice Numbering in Mexico

Symptom

While configuring customer invoice numbering, the “Calendar Year as Suffix” option is not available for Mexico.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Business Configuration work center.
  2. Select Overview View.
  3. Search for “Document Numbering Formats for Customer Invoicing”.
  4. Choose “Document Numbering Formats Specific to Mexico”.
  5. In Result tab “Calendar Year as Suffix” option is not available.

Cause

The system adheres to country-specific legal requirements for Mexico (CFDI). Invoice identification is governed by the e-invoicing framework with certified PAC requirements, which enforces series/folio structures. Therefore, numbering options like “Calendar Year as Suffix” are not supported.

Resolution

  1. Note that “Calendar Year as Suffix” is not supported for Mexico due to CFDI legal requirements and PAC certification.
  2. Configure customer invoice numbering using the country-specific series/folio structures provided in section "Define Document Numbering Formats for Mexico" of Document Numbering Formats for Customer Invoicing - Configuration Guide.
  3. Refer to the official guidance for Mexico e-invoicing (CFDI) and document numbering to ensure compliance.
