N. S. Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) When creating a draft invoice using the accounting API the provided invoice number appears to be ignored. When the draft is released to become 'unpaid' an invoice number is set, ignoring the value provided when creating the draft and it does not appear possible to change this invoice number. How can I set a custom invoice number which is not lost/reset when a draft invoice changes to a different status? Edited November 23, 2021 by N. S.

Steel, Mark Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Hi, thank you for your question. Sage Business Cloud Accounting has limited scope for custom invoice numbering. The only customisable aspects are the prefixes and the next invoice number as shown in the screenshot. These settings are available via Settings>Document Preferences>Prefixes & Numbering and via the invoice_settings API. If there is a requirement to persist data from a draft invoice to and unpaid invoice you will need to use a different field such as reference.
