Creating invoice numbers manually is slow and error-prone—especially if you're managing many sales. To make this easier, ConnectBooks now automatically generates invoice numbers for you.
How It Works
Instead of typing an invoice number every time, ConnectBooks will now auto-fill it for you. The system starts from a default number (1001) and increases by one with each new invoice:
1001 → 1002 → 1003 → and so on.
You can also create custom invoice formats, like:
INV100 → INV101 → INV102
SALE1 → SALE2 → SALE3
PO500 → PO501 → PO502
The system simply continues from whatever you enter as the last invoice number.
Note: If you manually enter a custom invoice number, ConnectBooks will pick up from there for the next invoice. For example, if you create INV109, the next auto-generated invoice will be INV110.
How to Enable It
To turn on auto-invoice numbering, follow these steps:
Go to Stores and Files, Inventory Files, Files Settings
Click on Custom Invoice Number
Enter your desired starting number or custom format.
Examples:1001,SALE1,INV500Save your changes.
Once enabled, every new invoice will follow the pattern automatically.
