    Hi MichelleOsborne

     

    Thanks for your post.

     

    By default each time an invoice or purchase is created it tries to use the next number in the internal sequence. There may be instances when the invoice number auto-number sequence can get pulled out of sequence, especially if transactions are deleted or transactions are recorded out of order.

     

    You may need to simply adjust the invoice number on the field to the number you need before hitting the record button. You might need to do this a few times to get AccountRight back in sync with the latest invoice number sequence.

     

    Sometimes, it might need a little nudge and you may have to leap to a number in the future sequence for it to catch on. If manually updating the number and recording it doesn't set the next number to 102, try a bigger leap, say to 120, and see if it picks up the beat from there.

     

    Feel free to post again anytime if you require further assistance.

I still have to manually update every invoice. I have already tried jumping up in large numbers in batches of 10 but I still have to manually edit the invoice number,

Looking for something else?
