Incrementing invoice numbers

I also would love ongoing invoicing options so I don’t have to manually input succeeding invoice numbers and add line items every time since I invoice the same companies and item lines each week.

every invoice I create I have to create an invoice number from scratch it says 00001 every time 

so I have to input where I’m up to 

eg I use sw074em

next time I create an invoice I have to check what the last number used was and recreate it as it always goes back to the 0001

  • The issue lies with the invoice's name; the system is not able to increment it since it ends in letters instead of numbers. 


    Example;

    SWEM074 would update to SWEM075 on the next invoice. 
    SW074EM would revert to 00001 as the system cannot register the numbers in the middle of the invoice number. 

    So, if you are able to, then it might be worth shuffling your naming convention up a bit and keeping the numbers to the end; that way, you won't have to update manually each time.

    We have also forwarded this to our development team, so if this idea is something you'd like to see implemented, then please make sure to upvode it!

    Does this post look familiar? We split it from it's original post How do I customise my invoice? | MYOB Community to make it easier to find!
