Invoice Number Sequence

After installing the new version V2022.5, the quoting and invoicing numbering sequence is adding either CR or DR to the start of the invoices numbers. How is this turned off? Thanks!

Hi MichelleNT

Thanks for your post. To reset the auto-numbering sequence manually type in the invoice number and the software will remember this when you enter the next sale. It can take a couple of manual entries so if it doesn't remember the first time manually enter the invoice number until it does pick up your sequence.

Please let me know if you need further help.

  Hey Michelle
  
  Since the last update - new invoices are taking the 0000#### number and the recurring invoices already in the system are sticking to #### - so we are ending up with duplicate invoices albeit one has 0000 in front and it's rather annoying.

    Hi NEone
    
    If you don't want the 0000 prefix for invoice numbers you can reset the auto-numbering sequence by manually typing the invoice number without the 0000. New invoices should then pick up that new sequence.
