Is the Custom Transaction Numbers Problem going to be fixed?

I understand this is an ongoing known issue and I need to know if it will be resolved. The setting in Account and Settings/Sales/Custom Transaction Numbers cannot be disabled. I have the WooCommerce Connector from OneSaas (Intuit) to sync orders from WooCommerce. There is a setting to assign a new invoice number to these sales using the existing numbering sequence in QBO. This feature will only work if you turn off Custom Transaction Numbers, which as mentioned cannot be done! I gave up on the invoice number integration and decided to use two unique series of invoice numbers, one for manual invoices and one for WooCommerce orders. The problem now is the invoice numbering sequence in QBO now defaults to the number from the last invoice that was entered. Following each WooCommerce order the numbering sequence changes and I have to close the invoice, go see what the correct invoice number should be, then manually change it to the correct number. I'm new to QBO and don't have a problem switching to something else if there is not a swift resolution for this.

If you're still new to QBO, get out while you still can! We are advising to migrate away this year and unfortunately it is going to be a hassle. But, QBO has been steadily taking away features that are essential to our business and there has definitely NOT been a swift resolution.

I could not have said it better myself!  Keep it up! You're doing the world a favor.

I agree!  A known bug for months now.  And not a peep from Intuit that they are even attempting to fix this!  I import invoices from my management software and it screws up every time, causing lots of additional work.  Please don't tell me again to submit a feedback or request a ticket.  It goes into a black hole.  Intuit, please be more customer-centric!

Agreed! Don't use Quickbooks Online! I am already beginning to prepare for the unfortunate project of leaving QBO this year.  The changes they keep making to the software is full of glitches, adding to what was already a frustrating user experience. Modern reports is an epic failure, now the chart of accounts seems to be broken (won't sort properly, not to mention it's grueling trying to clean up or standardize), preferred pricing is only given through an accounting firm (old school ridiculous), and the list goes on. The company honestly became too big and have zero clue what they are doing. Development is outsourced to India, which clearly shows in the work product. I know because one of the execs at Intuit forwarded my complaint email to their dev team in India. I attempted to correspond with 10+ resources over there for a few months but they ultimately came up short. Terrible company.
