Renumbering invoices

  • Hi! I started issuing invoices about a month ago, and I just noticed the numbers are not correct.
    I asked my web developer to start numbering at 0001, then use incremental numbers whenever I click Completed on an order.
    Instead, the invoice numbers start at 0025, then continue irregularly, such as 23, 30, 31, 27, etc.
    I suspect these numbers were generated upon each order placement, then carried forward to the invoices.

    (1) Is it possible to re-issue existing invoices with the correct sequence numbers?
    (2) How to fix the numbering process to issue correctly numbered invoices from now on?

    Thank you,
    Csaba / Hungary

    Hi Csaba!
    I recommend that you read this page from the documentation, it probably answers most of your questions:
    PDF Invoice numbers explained.
    You probably need to change the invoice attachment settings, so that the invoice doesn’t get issued until it is completed.

    You can fix this:

    • In the template settings, find the “Next order number” field and set it to the number you want to assign to the next order.
    • If you edit an order, there’s a box called “PDF invoice data”, where you can edit the invoice date and number

    Let me know if you have any other questions!
