Thanks for dropping by the QuickBooks Community, jccelec.
I want to ensure you're able to use the correct number when creating an invoice.
When creating a transaction, QuickBooks takes the last number recorded and automatically increments this number by one for each new invoice.
Since you’ll be using a different number sequence, you’ll have to first manually update the invoice counter. Let me provide you the step by step process.
- Go to Customers at the top menu bar, then choose Create Invoices.
- Create a dummy invoice.
- In the Invoice # field, enter a number less than the correct one. For example, if the correct invoice number is 90, enter 89 in the field box.
- Click Save.
The next time you create an invoice, QuickBooks will assign the correct number. Before creating a new one, make sure to first delete the dummy invoice to keep your records in order.
Here’s how:
- Click Previous at the top of the window to find the invoice.
- From the Edit menu, choose Delete Invoice.
