To change or reset your invoice number sequence, enable Custom transaction numbers, create a new invoice with your preferred number, and save it. QuickBooks will automatically adopt that new number as the baseline for all future sequential invoices.
Here’s how:
- Click the Gear icon.
- Select Account and Settings.
- Click the Sales tab on the left menu.
- Find Sales form content and click the Pencil (Edit) icon.
- Turn on the Custom transaction numbers switch.
- Click Save.
- Open a New Invoice.
- In the Invoice no. field, delete
70588 (or whatever auto-filled number appears) and type the desired starting number you prefer (for example, 1 or 1001). - Fill out the invoice and click Save and close. Future invoices will now count up sequentially from that new number.
