Do not want sequential Invoice Number

Question

Hi,For invoicing we start with an "S" for our servicing &amp; "D" for our installs - why, it's because we create invoices via our Filemaker program and that program generates the numbers - with the old MYOB we could enter our S32639 or our D23111 without it wanting to make that number generate the next sequence - so basically we want to enter our own numbers without myob changing it to a sequence - our operators in the Service Department want to create an invoice and enter the number they want but when pressing ok it changes - how do we stop this, it's driving everyone nuts and we end up re-issuing statements because myob changed the invoice number when ok'd, thanks

Hi&nbsp;COSMO&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Welcome to the Community Forum. I am sorry to hear you are having problems with the sequential numbering.
&nbsp;
Invoice numbers are designed to default to the next available number in the 8-digit sequence. However, if you would like to put in something different, you can&nbsp;manually change it by typing over the automated number.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
After being changed, it will pre-populate the next invoice as a number next time, so if you do this, you will need to type over each time.
