Hi Wellsinoz,
Thank you for your post.
The invoice number AutoNumber sequence can get pulled out sequence if transactions are deleted or transactions are recorded out of order. To fix this issue, you need to go into the invoice number field on the required sale and update the invoice number before recording that invoice. This process may need to be completed multiple times to ensure that AccountRight picks up on the latest invoice number sequence.
You can also turn on the "warn for the duplicate Invoice Number on Recorded Sale" by going to Setup >> Preferences >> Sales. This is to warn the user that an invoice number has already been used by the system, and it can give you an indication to correct the invoice number so the AutoNumber does not go out of sequence.
You can contact us again if you need further assistance or if you have questions or concerns. We are more than happy to help.

Thansk for the reposnce They are not only out of sequence they are completly out if you take a lok at the screen shot. How does that happen ?
Hi Wellsinoz,
My apologies for the late response and thank you for the screenshot. AccountRight follows an auto-number invoice sequence, where it takes the last recorded invoice number and increments it for the next invoice. For instance, if you record an invoice with number 00000010, the subsequent one will be 00000011, and so on.
However, there may be instances where the auto-number sequence gets disrupted, leading to the use of an older invoice number. This typically happens due to transaction deletions or manual edits. To realign the invoice numbers, you can manually update the invoice number to the desired value and then record the invoice. This action will readjust the auto-number sequence accordingly. Please note that it might take a few attempts to successfully update the invoice number to align with the desired sequence.
Regards,
Earl
