Caveats mentioned
- Covered in more detail in release notes and another video
- Sales invoice and sales order documents must support manual numbers
- Orders imported before the toggle was activated keep the old number; unlink and mark the document as not processed, then create it again
- Shopify numbers look different in the sales order list, so review compatibility with Business Central numbers because sorting may be affected
Prerequisites mentioned
- Manual numbers enabled on sales order and invoice number series
Documented features match

Docs checked on 2026-10-02: the match is against Microsoft's what's new pages for the wave as they were on that date. Microsoft keeps filling the documentation, so "no documented item" can go stale. The wider product documentation on learn.microsoft.com was searched for this feature on the same date; the feature's data lists an article when one was found.
