MYOB Business keeps reverting invoice number

I've read the threads re: invoice numbers changing, but my issue is slightly different.  Having been an AccountRight user for many years, we always used the option to retain the order number when converting an order to an invoice.  So order number 123 should convert to invoice number 123.  Business does not do this by default, if we wish to retain the order number for the invoice number, we sometimes have to manually over-ride the invoice number.  That's fine, we can deal with that (although a setup option so that we didn't have to would be great!) - but I am finding that even when the invoice number appears to match the order number (when converting from order to invocie), when we go to save or email that invoice to the customer, the number changes in that save / generate email process - which also means that the invoice number to which any pre-invoice payment has been allocated against is incorrect.  please see attached document which screen shots the various stages of this process.

Note that I have even tried re-typing the invoice number before hitting save / send email, but it still changes the invoice number during the save / send email.

This is a real case of what you see (before you hit the save button) is NOT what you get, and is very frustrating.

    Hi sues0204,

     

    Thanks for the screenshot! To remedy that situation, you want to go into the invoice number field on the required sale and update the invoice number on that field to be the required number before recording that invoice. Additionally, it could be helpful to visit the community forum for more insights: MYOB Community Forum. However, if you still encounter any issues after trying those recommended workarounds, I highly recommend reaching out to our support team directly. You can reach them on Live Chat via our virtual assistant, MOCA, or by submitting a support case via MyAccount. For us to investigate this further and provide a more tailored solution or escalate the issue if necessary.

     

     

    Kind regards,

    Shella

      this is the issue though, I have changed the invoice number, or at least it is displaying as the number I want, but when I try to save or send email, the invoice number changes - please check the screenshots & read the comments so you can understand the process.

    I have had the same frustration as we use the quote/order number as our job # that flows through the whole factory process.  My work around seeing MYOB are too lazy to fix the issue is that we use the desktop or online version to create the initial entry as a quote etc. then only use the desktop to convert it to an invoice and if I want to use the online version for emailing etc I use that.  My desktop settings are set to retain the number but unfortunately the online LIVE version of the accountright program is purely base level in regards to the program which is not what we're paying for by the way......
