Entering an Invoice - Header

No.
Paste Special    Select from another Number Series
The Invoice Number of a new Invoice is provided automatically by Standard Accounts. The default is the first unused number in the first valid number sequence in the Number Series - Invoices setting. You may change this number, but not to one that has already been used.

If you have not defined any number sequences in the Number Series - Invoices setting, the Invoice Number sequence will start at 1 and continue consecutively. If you want the sequence to start from another number, change the Invoice Number of an Invoice before saving it: Standard Accounts will then continue the sequence from there.r

Customer
Paste Special    Customers in Contact register
Enter the Customer Number or use the 'Paste Special' function. When you press Return, the Customer's name, address and other information will be entered into the appropriate fields.

Name
The Customer Name is brought in after you have entered the Customer Number.

OK
You can approve the Invoice by checking this box and saving. This will cause the Invoice to be posted to your Sales Ledger. A corresponding Nominal Ledger Transaction will also be created in the Transaction register. Because of this consequence, you will no longer be able to make changes to the Invoice.

References in these web pages to approved Invoices are to Invoices whose OK box has been checked (i.e. an approved Invoice is one that is no longer a Draft).
