Question

Can you adjust the vendor invoice number field? We need to accept a vendor's invoice string of 24 characters and it appears QBO only allows 21 characters.

Hello, cmcgrothers.

 

Currently, invoice and bill number can only have a maximum of 21 characters. If you’re trying to enter more than these characters, you can use the memo field instead.

 

You can also share your preferred number of characters with our engineers through feedback. Just click the Gear icon and select Feedback.  

 

Please feel free to reach us again if you need assistance or you have further questions with QuickBooks.

I think Quickbook should update to open a maximum of 21 characters to 30 at least.

Like big suppliers, AMAZON and the STRIPE credit card company use more than 21 characters' Invoice numbers or references.

To put MEMO, it is really hard to reconcile, Please consider this issue seriously and urgently..
