Hi Garreth, 

 

Thank you for reaching out on this.

 

It is not by design for the invoice numbers to carry the letter A at the end.

 

You can try creating a new invoice, remove the letter A and click save, as it should prevent the A from showing again in the next invoice. 

 

Please let us know how you go and if you require any additional assistance. Thank you.

thanks Zac you say its not by design...

thanks for the suggestion is this a work around?

are you saying that its not the original intention of QB to have the suffix in the invoice no.

I don't understand how it evolved to be in place now?

Hi garreth!

 

We thought you were confused why there is letter A in your invoice number. That's why Zac said this is not the default setup and you can remove it.

 

Anyhow, we can actually add letters as a suffix or prefix. This is a common practice in businesses with different types of invoices. However, only the numbers will increment as you create more invoices. Letters do not change because they are generally used to identify the type of invoice.

 

Hope this clears up everything.

 

If you have additional questions, you can always go back to this thread. Have a good one!
