Hi,
I’d like to reset my invoice number as I set it up in error. I have only sent one invoice and deleted it but don’t want to reset the whole account as I’ve set up my bank, clients etc.
Thanks in advance,
Simon
Hello @Mindfilmer
When you next create an invoice, overtype the invoice number in the top right.
QuickFile will then start counting from there.
Wow, is it that simple? Great, thanks Steve. I’m just starting out with Quick file this week and think I’m going to have a few questions, but I’ll look for previous similar questions first.
Note that you cannot reuse an invoice number, even a deleted one - a “deleted” invoice is never permanently deleted, it remains accessible in a “deleted” section to maintain the audit trail, e.g. if you get a VAT inspection and need to show there’s no breaks in your invoice numbering. If you want to use the number that you originally assigned to the now-deleted invoice for your first real invoice then you’ll need to un-delete the deleted one, change its number to something like “test-000001”, then delete it again.
The next invoice you create will still try and number 000002 by default (one higher than the number the most recent invoice was created with - which in this case is not the number it has now) but having changed the test invoice you should now be able to override the new one as 000001. Subsequent invoices will then start counting up from there.
Cheers Ian, much appreciated.
