Would anyone please explain me also about quick file receipt numbers.
I am working with purchases and my first purchases have quick file refference numbers high:
Receipt No. Receipt Date Supplier Name Description Total Status Options View/Edit
QF00095 01/06/2014 East Yorkshire Buses 3.60 GBP
PAID
Make A Payment
View/Edit
This transaction, this is very first transaction, and in my understanding transaction number should be somewhere in the first 10, but instead it is 95. Or they are changing somehow?
I am at the moment checking with quick file if all my transaction there, so I writing on the actual receipts quickfile reference number. And start thinking if they will change it will just confuse me even more.
Please help me understand how is the system works.
Thank you.
Hi @IrMa
With purchase invoices, the numbers are generated automatically starting at #QF00001 and increases by 1 each time. These numbers will never change, but are issued at the time of the invoice creation (not by the date of the invoice itself).
What may have happened is if you created purchase invoices and then deleted them, the numbering will still continue as numbers can’t be reused. There is a reason for this - it comes down to auditing for HMRC etc.
You can check this by going to the bottom of the list of purchase invoices, and clicking ‘Deleted’:
If you still can’t find them, if you could let me know the last 3 digits of your QuickFile account number, I’ll take a quick look for you.
Hope this helps?
I had a look in my deleted receipts as it have been shown, and there is no any receipts, instead the earlier numbers in later dates receipts.
The confusion came from first purchase receipt have number 95 instead of 1.
As long as numbers stay the same and never change for the same transaction i can live with it.
Thank you
