Symptom
While configuring customer invoice numbering, the “Calendar Year as Suffix” option is not available for Mexico.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Business Configuration work center.
- Select Overview View.
- Search for “Document Numbering Formats for Customer Invoicing”.
- Choose “Document Numbering Formats Specific to Mexico”.
- 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
- Note that “Calendar Year as Suffix” is not supported for Mexico due to CFDI legal requirements and PAC certification.
- 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.
- Refer to the official guidance for Mexico e-invoicing (CFDI) and document numbering to ensure compliance.
