Each Invoice has its own unique identifying number, based on a sequential series. When you enter a new Invoice, the next number in the series will be used. If required, you can have a number of such sequences running concurrently, perhaps representing different years or different departments.

Use this setting to define these sequences, or Number Series. The different series should not overlap. If you leave the setting empty, Invoice Numbers will start at 1 and continue consecutively. Otherwise, when you enter an Invoice, the next number in the first valid Number Series entered to this setting will be used as a default. You can change to the first unused number in any other valid Number Series using 'Paste Special'.

To work with Number Series, ensure you are in the Sales Ledger and open the 'Settings' list by clicking the [Settings] button in the Master Control panel or using the ⌘-S keyboard shortcut. Then, double-click 'Number Series - Invoices' in the 'Settings' list. The following window appears:

Enter each new Number Series on the first blank line. The Comment will be shown in the 'Paste Special' list, so enter some text that will help you choose a number from the correct sequence. Then, click the [Save] button in the Button Bar to save the changes. To close the window without saving changes, click the close box.
