Q. Can I re-use an invoice number / fill in any number gaps ?
There are ways an invoice number can go 'un-used' however, only really if you delete one as in one of the following scenarios.
SCENARIO 1...
- Create invoice number 1000
- Create invoice number 1001
- Delete / Cancel invoice 1000
- Invoice 1000 is now left blank
SCENARIO 2... (network version)
- User 1 creates invoice 1000
- User 2 creates invoice 1001 seconds later
- User 1 meant to create a jobsheet, so cancels the invoice.
- Invoice 1000 is now left blank
But as in both cases, the invoice is physically cancelled or removed.
However, you can re-use an invoice number or fill in any blank numbers if the above situation occurs, even if it is just to add a comment or note such as Void... so there's no gaps.
Using one of the above scenarios
- Create the next invoice in sequence (invoice number 1002)
- On the invoice screen, goto the settings tab
- Change invoice number to 1000
