Invoice numbers

Question

Hey all,

Our buisness uses two types of numbers for invoicing, one that represents general sales orders and the other which represents site work.

If the admin team enter a site work invoice is there any way so that invoice numeber doesnt come up as the next sequential number for the sales team?

Thank you.

Hi @Brody_M,

I understand you use one invoice numbering style for general sales and another for site work, and you’d like site work invoices not to affect the next number used by the sales team. MYOB uses one automatic numbering sequence for invoices, so there isn’t currently an option to run two separate automatic invoice sequences. As a workaround, you could use a clear prefix for site work invoices, such as SITE-1001, and enter those numbers manually. Just keep in mind that manually changing invoice numbers can affect the next number MYOB suggests, so both teams would need to manage the numbering consistently. You could also use the invoice description or a custom field to help identify site work invoices.
