Invoice Numbering

Auto-Increment Feature

Every time you create an invoice, the system automatically increments the invoice number. For example:

• First invoice: INV-1001
• Second invoice: INV-1002
• Third invoice: INV-1003

Customizing Invoice Prefix

You can change the prefix from "INV-" to anything you like:

1. Go to Settings
2. Scroll to Invoice Settings
3. Change the Invoice Prefix field
4. Click Save

Example prefixes: INVOICE-, 2026-, CLIENT-INV-, etc.

Changing the Next Invoice Number

If you need to start from a different number:

1. Go to Settings
2. Find Next Invoice Number
3. Enter the desired starting number
4. Click Save

⚠️ Note: This only affects future invoices, not existing ones.

✓ Start with 1001

Makes your business look more established

✓ Include the Year

Use prefixes like "2026-" or "INV-2026-" for easier tracking

✓ Keep it Consistent

Don't change your format mid-year for accounting purposes

Invoice numbers skipping?

This happens if you delete an invoice. The system doesn't reuse numbers to maintain a clear audit trail.

Numbers not auto-incrementing?

Check your Settings to ensure the "Next Invoice Number" is correct. The system auto-increments after each invoice creation.
