Let me provide some information about using the same invoice number for multiple invoices, Kim.

 

The old invoicing experience in QuickBooks allowed users to override the warning prompt when using the same invoice number. However, the option to utilize the same invoice number for multiple invoices is unavailable in the new invoice layout. With this, I recommend sending a product suggestion through the Feedback section. This will allow our product developers to consider adding your valuable insights in future updates. 

 

Here's how to send feedback in QuickBooks Online:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon.
  2. Select Feedback under the Profile column.
  3. Enter your product suggestions.
  4. Click Next to submit.

Once you're done invoicing your customers, here's a guide on recording their payments: Record invoice payments in QuickBooks Online.

 

Come back to this post if you have any other invoicing concerns in QuickBooks Online, Kim. I'm just one post away to assist you.

QB always wants to send everything to their team to evaluate.  But a bunch of computer nerds think their ideas are best and those suggestions will wind up in the trash bin.  Maybe they should check with people in the real world who use the software to find out what they think about the changes before foisting them on the paying customer who have zero recourse.

Yes, the new restriction on the invoice numbers, while not quite the stupidest change Intuit made, is close!

 

Intuit seems to have completely lost their collective memory regarding what makes a good invoice feature. The more I read here the more I cringe at just how bad the new invoices are. It's literally astounding!

This is the most dumb change I have seen them do since we have had their service for the last 5 years! Suddenly billing for our customers is a nightmare and all they have to say about it is "well send us feedback" Which for the price we pay is ridiculous.
