Invoice Recurring

Welcome to the Community, @ecassara-allclea!

QuickBooks Online (QBO) is programmed to create an invoice and automatically use the next invoice number, regardless if the invoice was manually created or automatically converted from a recurring template. To correct your invoice numbering sequence, you may reset it through the Accounts and Settings page:
 

  1. Go to Settings, then select Account and Settings.
  2. Select Sales.
  3. In Sales form content, select Edit.
  4. Turn Custom transaction numbers on.
  5. Select Save, then select Done.

Here is an alternative way that will help you set your numbering preferences:
 

  1. Go to Sales and select Invoices (Take me there).
  2. Select the invoice, then select Edit Invoice.
  3. In the Invoice no. field, enter the custom letter or number sequence you want to use for your forms. The sequence you set will apply to all sales forms.
  4. Select Save or Save and close.

Once you have set up your custom invoice numbering, QBO will follow the sequence you set up. Turn this setting off to prevent accidental changes. You can also check these articles for more details:
