Duplicate Invoice Numbers and the 0000 have disappeared!

Hello,

 

Up until Friday, invoices in my system started with 0000 and were going up consecutivley. for example 00002120, 00002121 etc, which was fine.

 

All of a sudden, the 0000 has dropped to 2122, 2123 and so on. The invoices have also jumped back and the last few have duplicted (less the 0000 at the start), so now it looks like:

 

00002120

00002021

2120

2121

2122

 

Does anyone know why this has occurred and how i can change it back? I have selected under preferences to be wanred if there is a suplciate invoice number, I'm guessing MYOB thinks 00002120 and 2120 are different invoice numbers? Shoudl I just keep going with the new look invoice numbers?

 

Happy to answer any questions.

    Hi

     

    I suggest that you manually add the 0000 back into the next invoice you create and then the next invoice will retain that format

     

    You could manually change the two invoices to be sequential and reissue  them to your customer to keep things in line

     

    An yes they are seen as differnt numbers by myob

     

    Hope that helps

  • I am having the same issue.

    is ther any other solution, other than manually putting in the zeros?

    Hi

    once you have inserted the zeros myob will  remember and you won't need to do again
