Hello judgerentalsltd,

 

It's good to see that you're getting your books prepared for another year of business. It's important that you're able to keep your invoice number sequence in check to avoid any confusion with your records. QuickBooks Online gives you the flexibility to enter custom invoice numbers in just a few easy steps. I can walk you through how to do this. 

 

The first step is to enable the custom invoice number setting if you haven't already done so. This can be done by going to the Gear icon towards the top right of the Dashboard and selecting Account and Settings. From there, navigate to the Sales section and click the pencil icon within the Sales form content area to edit the settings. Switch the toggle button for Custom transaction numbers to ON, then click Save. Now when you go into an invoice, you'll enter the first invoice number for the 2021 year sequence, and QuickBooks Online will continue from there.
