What is the correct variable for Invoice Number in an Invoice DOCX template?

What is the correct variable for Invoice Number in an Invoice DOCX template? The documentation and examples show it as <invoiceno>, but that fails during the mapping phase of the import and you're forced to manually map it. I tried guessing, but <invoicenumber> and <invoicenum> didn't work either.

What is the correct variable for Invoice Number in an Invoice DOCX template?

Hi there, @tlum.

I've got the answers you're looking for to get that custom invoice template uploaded in no time.

 

You have to use <refnumber> for the invoice number. You can also download the sample file if you would like some help setting up your template. It includes the EZ Map Fields catalog.

 

Here's how:

  1. Go to the Gear icon and select Custom Form Styles.
  2. Select the New style dropdown menu and choose Import style.
  3. Choose Invoice. It is where you can download the import guide.
  4. If your template is ready, click Upload your .DOCX file field. Then, find and select your .docx template.
  5. Select Next.
  6. Map your fields so that QuickBooks knows what values you want.
  7. When everything looks good, click Save. Then, create a name for your new style. 

 

Alternatively, you can refer to this sample invoice template I've attached below.
