 Q. Can I re-use an invoice number / fill in any number gaps ?

Back PDF

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
