Invoices can entered also some days forward or back. Users enters invoice date
and expected program to generate next sequential number for this day.
Different users can enter invoices for different days.

Why would you do that?
You can always reset the sequence at the end of the day.

There are 365 days in year.
Do you really think pre-creating sequence for every day for every year is
best solution ?

Invoice numbers have format yymmddn
where n is sequence number in day staring at 1 for every day.
command
SELECT COALESCE(MAX(nullif(substring( substring(tasudok from 7),
'^[0-9]*'),'')::int),0)+1
FROM invoice
where date= ?invoicedate
is used to get next free invoice number if new invoice is saved.
If multiple invoices are saved concurrently from different processes,
they will probably get same number.
How to get unique invoice number for some day in 8.1+ when multiple
users create new invoices ?
