automatic invoice numbering in QB 2019

Thanks for the great suggestion, @srmoon.

I’d like to share an information about managing the different sales forms in QuickBooks Desktop Premier.

Currently, the invoice feature, acknowledgement and packing list has their own numbering schemes. You may set up all your sales forms in QuickBooks Desktop to have the same Starting Number. However, there is no guarantee that these forms stay “in sync” because they are different types of transactions. What you can do for now is to change manually the number on each form so it will be the same. 

For a detailed information about customizing your sales forms in QuickBooks Desktop, you may check out these articles: 

• Use and customize form templates
• Use QuickBooks Desktop custom fields

On the other hand, I can see how this feature be a convenient way to track your sales forms in a sequential manner.  I’d be glad to forward these suggestions to our Product Engineers for consideration in future updates.
