Avoid Duplicate Transaction Numbering across Sources

Summary

Is it possible to avoid duplicate invoice numbering across different sources?

Content

Hello Gurus!

Our client has many transaction sources which all relate to their different business entities. Also, when we converted the invoices, they have an import source called "MISC AR IMPORT" and a manual source called "MISC AR".
When we imported the invoices, those transactions started the numbering at 20,000 for example.
For the manual invoices, they start at 20,000 as well.

This wasn't initially raised as an issue but now that they are in PROD, they are asking us to validate if we can avoid duplicate numbering. Technically speaking, there aren't that many invoices which were imported so having duplicate numbers shouldn't last more than 1-2 months until they are cleared but to avoid mix-ups, I am wondering if it is possible to set a profile option or if there is a configuration which would make sure there are no duplicate invoice numbers.

Howdy, Stranger!
