Assign Invoice Numbering

Invoice numbers in ObjAcct are assigned by Accounts Receivable Account.  When you setup your Company in ObjAcct, you should enter the last invoice number used for each Accounts Receivable Account for which invoices are generated.

1.  Select Chart of Account from the Lists menu.

2.  Double click on a specific "Accounts Receivable" type Account to open the edit window.

3.  Enter the number of the last invoice  number used or enter the invoice number you wish to begin with minus one in the Last Document Nbr field.

For example, if you want the next invoice for the given Accounts Receivable Account to be 2500, you should enter 2499 in the Last Document Nbr.  Also, anytime throughout the year, if you want to modify the invoice number sequence, you will need to update the Last Document Nbr. 

NOTE:  When you enter invoices in the Invoice/Credit Memo application, if you do not print the invoice and manually key in an Invoice Number, the Account Receivable Account's Last Document Nbr will be updated with that invoice number. 

4.  Click Save to save the Account change.
