Invoice Number and Payment Ref Mismatch

[JKRF]

Hi,

Up until now my invoice numbers have matched my payment reference numbers. However, today I accidentally tagged a bank payment to the wrong invoice number. I manually changed the invoice number by using the “Modify Invoice” feature but that doesn’t change the payment reference to match. For example, it says " A payment #SP000046 has been attributed to this invoice" when the invoice number is 000043. I’m not even sure if it matters but given that all my previous invoices match, then I thought I would ask to see if there’s a way to change it. Please see the attached screenshot:

Thank you!

It doesn’t matter - the payment and invoice numbers are independent sequences and will go out of sync sooner or later as soon as you have a single payment for two invoices, multiple part-payments for one invoice, any kind of refund or credit note, invoices paid in a different order from that in which they were issued, etc.

Thanks, Ian! Your reply (especially on a Sunday!) is very much appreciated.
