Thank you for posting your concern here on the Community.

 

Let me address your concern when creating your sales invoices using your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.

 

You’ll be presented with a prompt if you create two or more invoices using the same invoice number. To know if you have used the invoice number, I suggest searching your transactions using your invoice number to confirm that it already exists. If you have found it, you can perform the necessary steps to edit or delete them.

 

To avoid experiencing this issue in the future, I recommend temporarily turning off your Custom transaction's numbers in your Account and Settings to have a continuously running invoice number and let QBO assign numbers in your sales automatically.

 

If you've made any changes to your QBO account. You can perform browser troubleshooting steps to ensure the software acknowledges and applies those changes.
