Change invoice numbers

Summary

How to edit the number used on sales documents, such as invoices and credit notes, in Sage Accounting.

When you first start using Sage Accounting, you'll begin with document Number 1.

If you previously used another accounting system, and you want to start from the last number you used.

We also add a prefix to help you identify each type of sales document, such as invoices, credit notes, quotes, etc.

You can't reuse an invoice or credit note number ensuring a full audit trail. However, you can reuse quote and estimate numbers.

The changes will apply with the document you create next. Changes won't reflect in previously created documents.

Select Settings/More, then to Business settings and select Document preferences.
In the Numbering section, input the number you want your next document to start in the appropriate fields.
To update the prefix, type the text you want to precede the number on your documents. The prefix allows up to six characters.
Select Save.
