sales_settings_numbering_set
[REQUIRES APPROVAL] Sets where a document type's numbers continue, for example after moving from another invoicing tool. doc_type: invoice, quote, credit_note, debit_note or receipt. next_number is the sequence number the next document gets (42 prints as INV-2026-042). Numbering only moves forward: a number at or below the last one used or skipped is refused with VALIDATION_ERROR naming that number, and nothing changes. prefix sets the credit_note, debit_note or receipt prefix; invoice and quote prefixes are invoice_prefix and quote_prefix on sales_settings_upsert. An agent call waits for the owner's approval. Read the current numbers with sales_settings_numbering_read.
