Hi CB78,
Thanks for your post. Please allow me to extend to you a very warm welcome to the Community Forum.
In the upgraded version of MYOB Business/Essentials, the invoice and quote use the same reference number sequence. When you convert a quote into an invoice, it will use the next number in the invoice number sequence.
Please do not hesitate to post again if you need help in the future.

When I convert a quote into an invoice, it uses the quote number, my next invoice then follows that number and not the last invoice number, i.e. last invoice number 00004156, I convert quote number 00003995 to an invoice, which uses the same number. after that my next invoice uses 00003996 and not 00004157.
this is time consumming and if not pick up confusing. Quote numbers need to be differant from invoice numbers.
Hi KJIS,
Thanks for your post, and welcome to the Community Forum!
In MYOB Business/Essentials, both the quote and invoice numbers are system-generated. If you encounter an issue with this, you might need to advance to a future number in the sequence for the system to recognize it correctly. For instance, if the last number in the sequence was 100, setting the next number as 101 and recording it should proceed to 102. If this doesn't work, try jumping to a higher number like 120 to see if the system resumes numbering from there. This process can help identify where the numbering might be stuck.

EarlThis is super frustrating, you basically need to write down your sequency on a piece of paper then refer to it as you change either the invoice or quote number and pre-fix. Surely this is an easy fix? It doesn't make any sense at all?
MYOB's solution was to jump to a higher number, this doesn't solve the problem, it still uses that sequence :(
