Invoices are issued by suppliers, so the sequetial number assigned to the 
supplier invoice has the same archiviation purposes (protocol number) but a 
different meaning from the sequential number assigned to the customer invoice 
when issued.
This is a bug: two different fields are required.

Title:
  regression: wrong logic in numbering invoices

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Accounting module: ver.6.0.2

  There are read-only field "Number"  in account.invoice object, what is only 
generated when invoice is validated and is equal with account.move number. 
  There are no problems as far as this approach is used for Customer Invoices.

  For supplier invoices situation is quite different. 
  When we enter a supplier invoice we need to manually set an invoice number 
form received invoice, what is not possible to do, cause "Number" field is 
read-only.

  It is possible to encode invoice number in "Free Reference" field, but
  this lead to inconsistence and misunderstandings- as:

  - "Number" field for Customer Invoice is used as it means, while for Supplier 
invoices this field is rather internal accounting move number than invoice 
number,
  - "Number" field is not as it is really, as it is account/move number for 
both Incoming/Outgoing.
  - even if we assume the right field for entering Supplier Invoice number is 
"Free reference", then even according to workflow this number is for other 
purposes, like link Invoice to purchase order. (Try to make Purchase Order and 
Invoice from it, the field "Free Reference" is automatically filled with 
Purchase Order Nr.).
