Invoice duplicate number

Invoices we created are duplicating the number.  I just created an invoice today and MYOB has given it the same invoice number as an invoice created yesterday.  There are 2 invoices created yesterday to 2 different customers that also have the same number.  This is creating a nightmare for our accounts section.

Re: Invoice duplicate number

Hi @AITTSV 

 

Can you please try entering the invoice number manually higher in the sequence for the next invoice that you create and check if the next invoices are created correctly without getting duplicated? At this stage, there's no option to present the warnings for duplicates but this is something that might change in the future versions. 

Kind regards,
Komal

Re: Invoice duplicate number

I agree, it is a nightmare with invoice numbers being duplicated to different clients. Never was an issue with the old version so it should be an easy fix for MYOB.

Re: Invoice duplicate number

Hi Guys, this is still happening? This is not a solution. We had a perfectly fine sequencing of Invoice and quote numbers which now doesn't work and on top of this we keep getting duplicates for no reason?

Re: Invoice duplicate number

As per the above i have increased the sequence number and it is still duplicating. This is not good enough. How is there no check once you hit save and the invoice is "created"?

Re: Invoice duplicate number

We are also having the same problem. This is disgraceful how can MYOB who i might add have been around for a longtime, release a version that dulicates invoice numbers. We invoice anywhere from 20 - 50 invoices a day, so MYOB this is not helping. - Sort it out!!!!

In the old essentials it would not have allowed this to happen. You would have got a error message🥺

Re: Invoice duplicate number

Yep, we are getting about 2-3 a day, very confusing for our clientelle when numbers are changing. All i have been told is "feedback has been passed along" I don't believe this is feedback if this is a fault in the functionality?
