How to change an invoice number?

Hi there, 

It's great to have a feature which allows you to change invoice numbers. QuickBooks make it simple to do that and  I'd be happy to show you how using easy steps.

To change an existing invoice number, follow the steps below: 

1. Go to Sales, then click on the Invoices tab.
2. Select the invoice in question.
3. Go to the Invoice no. field and change the invoice number.
4. Click Save and Close or Save and Send.

As you know, QuickBooks automatically assigns numbers to your sales forms starting with 1001. If you'd rather use your own numbering format, you can customize the number to whatever you prefer.

Here's how to use the Custom transaction numbers feature to set your own numbering preference. This adds an Invoice no. field where you can enter any number or letter format you want.

1. Select the Gear icon on the Toolbar, then Account and Settings (or Company Settings).
2. Select Sales, then select anywhere within the Sales form content section.
3. Check the box next to Custom transaction numbers.
4. Select Save and then Done.
5. Open an invoice or any sales form, and in the Invoice no. field, enter the custom number or letter sequence you want to use for your forms. The sequence you set here applies to all sales forms.
