How do I stop automatic numbering for QuickBooks Online?
I need to enter my own# for invoices. I am migrating from Sage into QB I did do the import all ready but now I have a few more invoices to enter. So I would like to be able to add my own invoice#. Could someone please point me the correct direction.
Thank you
Sherry

Hi Sherry Lynn,
Thanks for reaching out to Community! QuickBooks Online is a dynamic program with the flexibility you need to accomplish your goals. One of the great features is having the option to set your preferences and save valuable time. I'll be happy to provide the information you need so you can continue your work with confidence! Here's how;
1. From the Gear ⚙ in the top right of your QuickBooks account, select Account and settings
2. Choose Sales from the left menu
3. Click on the Edit ✎ to the right of Sales form content
4. Turn on Custom transaction numbers
You'll now see the transaction number on your invoices. Once you enter a number, new invoices will follow the sequence, but you can manually enter your own in accordance to your entries.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach back out. We'd be glad to help!

Thank you after being on the phone with QB for 45min and then playing around on my own I figured this out. But thank you this at least validates what I did is correct.
I appreciate it.

I am not getting stuck. Turning on custom number does not work.
Why is a new Journal Entry already populated with a JE number?

Here is the new JE try.
My recurring JE's always have the last JE number plus 1. For instance PRJE-2022-12 when the previous JE was ZOHO-2022-12.

QBD has the ability to automatically have the last 2 digits entered as the CENTS. $100.12 - In QBO I have to enter the decimal or I get 10012.00.
That is just not trying very hard to make a good product.
A free desktop calculator can do that.

I'm having that exact same problem whenever I import paychecks from ADP (or any other payroll service).
Was there any resolution provided for this issue?
