Quickbooks is telling me an invoice number already exists when I’m trying to create an invoice. I am new so we don’t have many invoices ans I don’t create them.

I'd like to share some information about the prompt and provide a resolution to isolate this issue, @Carina-acgeorge.

 

Before proceeding, let's review if there are no invoices with the same number through the Search icon. You can also press the CTRL + letter F key on our keyboard on the Invoices page. See the sample screenshots below.

Once verified, use these keyboard shortcuts to confirm if the cache piled up on your browser affects the program's display:

 

  • For Firefox, press Ctrl + Shift + P
  • For Chrome, press Ctrl + Shift + N
  • For Safari, hold down Command + Shift + N

 

If this works, clear the browser's cache to start with a clean slate. You can also use other supported browsers as alternatives.

Once done, follow this guide to enter customer payments in the program: Record invoice payments in QuickBooks Online.
