Hi;

I have received a request for separating ar transaction and invoice numbers. If accepted this would mean that AR transactions (non-inventory invoices) would use a different sequence than Customer Invoice (inventory invoices).

Just to be clear: do you mean AR transactions or real invoices on which there simply are no inventory items? I mean, I use AR Transactions, but have never used them as real invoices because they look like a GL-transaction-with-AR-metadata.

AR transactions are "real invoices" in the sense that they itemize money owed buy customers.

The inventory distinction might be better expressed as "defined goods and services."

Also, I'm planning to start using invoices to be mailed (as PDF) directly to my customers - these are invoices for services provided, hence without stock. My idea is to use Sales invoices for them, not AR Transactions.

Yes, that would be the easiest way to do it. You could use the AR transaction area and just customize the template if you want to give a line item of "you owe me this much and here's a description" but usually sales invoices are simpler.
