changing invoice numbers

Sep 27, 2006 2 Replies

I'm now using a handheld in the feild and and it has started a new batch of invoice numbers (P100; P101 etc.) P being Palm or Portable, so you know that's where the invoice originated.



Now, when I go to do an invoice at the main machine, it want to use the invoice number P108, because P107 was the last one created (even though it was created on the handheld and is only there becuase I synced them).



Is there anyway to get quickbooks to ignore that and continue using the



6-digit invoice numbers that it has in the past? I do about half my invoices on the handheld and the other half and the main machine and would like to be able to see the differences between them. a lot of the time there are even invoices entered on both ends before a sync, so if I set the handheld to use the next 6 digit nuymber, I'll end up with duplicates whan I sync.

Thx,

number used on each machine. Using the next number (i.e. 123456 for PC and P109 for handheld) override the invoice number displayed in Quickbooks.

While QB will keep track of two sets of numbers for checks (ex. handwritten vs. printer) , there is no such option for other transaction types.

If you want to differentiate between invoices using the numbers, then you must remember to reset the number to the next sequential at the time of entry.
