Invoice numbering
When you create a new invoice, a unique number is automatically assigned to it.
You may now pick your favorite automatic numbering algorithm.
Once your invoice is created, you may edit the number as you wish using any characters (digits, letters, spaces or symbols), as long as the number stays unique.
Available options
The invoice numbering system is in charge of generating a unique number for your new invoices, timesheets and estimates.
- Simple:
- The first invoice will have the number 0001.
Each new invoice will have the number following the number of the last created invoice.
- Year - number:
- The invoice number starts with the 4 digits of the current year, followed by at least 3 digits representing the count of invoices created this year.
Eg: 2021087 represents the 87th (087) invoice created in 2021
- Year - Day - number:
- The invoice number starts with the 4 digits of the current year, followed by the 3 digits representing the day of the year (001 to 365), followed by at least 3 digits representing the count of invoices created that day.
Eg: 2022033002 represents the 2nd (002) invoice created on February the 2nd (033, the 33rd day of the year) 2022
Note that you may always change an invoice number to what you see fit, as long as it is unique for your business.
Changing the invoice numbering system will not impact past invoices.
