# How have you used the Account Number function with your invoices that do not have account numbers listed on the Invoice?

We have many invoices that do not have Account Numbers and are recognized by building.  We have set up Building-Suppliers as Account Numbers and Avid is still not able to choose those.  Wondering if others have had the experience we have had.

Due to this type of inflexibility, we have chosen to self index.

Avid will only recognize the account number if the invoice specifically shows "Account Number/Account#) as a description, otherwise it will go to a research queue. In your case, I don't think selecting "none" as the acct # would be ideal since you are using another set of numbers as an acct #. We have suppliers w/ similar situation, so what we've done is make the "none" acct# inactive. This stops the indexer from selecting "none" as an option. Your invoices would then fall into the research queue, but it would be easy for you to then select your correct account number so the invoice would be index correctly with the "used previous" option turned on.
