Set sequential invoice number by customer?
« on: May 29, 2012, 05:41:02 pm »
Is it possible to set invoice numbers by customer?

I am using sequential invoice numbers for all customers but one new customer asked me to use sequential invoices for him starting at 001. So his invoices will go 001,002,003 etc but this will get screwed up if I write an invoice to another customer in between.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Your only option is to create a new Company (even if it is a duplicate of what you already have).  Each Company has it's own set of invoice numbers.  (In general, you do not want duplicate invoice numbers as that makes for an accounting nightmare).

OK thanks, thought that might be the answer. That'll work for me.
