Hello,  I have just moved from QB desktop over to QB online. This is my first time creating a sales receipt and the program is automatically creating a sales receipt number that already exists from years ago. How do I get it to use the proper sales receipt number that it should automatically be using?

Thanks!

You can enter the transaction number manually to avoid duplicates, Matt1997. I'll be pleased to include the detailed process so you can track your transactions seamlessly.

 

In QuickBooks Online, you can enable the Custom transaction numbers to have the ability to add them manually and prevent the system from using a duplicate one.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Head to the Gear icon and choose Accounts and Settings.
  2. Select the Sales tab, then click the Pencil icon under the Sales form content.
  3. Toggle on the Custom transaction numbers.
  4. Click on Save and Done.

 

After that, you can enter a sales receipt using the appropriate transaction number. You can also turn off the Custom transaction numbers since QuickBooks will automatically create one in sequential order, starting from the number you've recently used. However, please note that you can continue entering it manually, depending on your preference.
