Can I change the starting invoice number for customer invoices?

Hi there,

Glad to have you connect with us in the Community. I'll be happy to assist you with navigating the program so you can achieve your goals with ease. QuickBooks is a powerful program that helps you streamline your work.

Based on what you've described, it's important to note that QuickBooks automatically places transaction numbers on your transactions/invoices. The good thing is that the program offers a powerful feature called Custom Transaction numbers. The option allows you to assign one invoice number and the rest of the sequence follows in order.

You can enable the feature in the Account and Settings page. Here’s how:

1.    Go to the Gear icon and select Account and Settings.
2.    Choose Sales in the left navigation pane.
3.    Pick the pencil icon in the Sales form content section.
4.    Check the box next to Custom transaction numbers.
5.    Hit Save and then Done.
