Hello Experts
We are working on the requirement to enable Invoice format for a Malaysian client based on the GST regulation to be effective from 01st of April'2015. Based on the up-coming GST regulations, it is required that there is a unique number range followed for the Malaysian plants and for all Invoices i.e. SD/ FI/ CS or PS invoices should share the same number range. I have three queries for which I request for the experts' opinions-
1) Is it possible to have a unique number range for various document types? As far as my understanding goes, an object is assigned to a document type and hence it is not possible to share a number range object among multiple document types?
2) Has a similar requirement been requested for VAT or GST from other governments?
3) Is the requirement for having unique serial number for invoices, as understood and explained here, different from what the government has laid down? The link below can be accessed for accessing the GST regulation defined by Malaysian government.
