Bottom left menu > My Company > Preferences
By default, Sequence automatically generates your invoice numbers to save you time. If you wish to set up a custom numbering format, you can do so from the Invoice, Quote, and Credit Note Numbering section.
1. Click on your name in the bottom-left menu.
2. From the dropdown options, select My Company.
3. Click on the Preferences tab.
4. Here you’ll see a section displaying the structure of the automatic invoice numbering. This is the numbering applied by default. If you want to create a custom numbering format, click on the link Configure invoice, quote, and credit note numbering.
5. Then click on the Add Numbering button.
6. A pop-up window will appear to help you set up your custom numbering format.
7. In the green box, you’ll be able to preview the format of the numbering as you configure it.
8. Start by indicating whether you want your numbering to begin with a prefix, and if so, specify what it should be.
9. Next, choose the year format to appear at the beginning of the invoice.
10. Specify whether you want the numbering to be random—that is, non-sequential and unpredictable—or sequential. If sequential, define the starting number.
11. Finally, indicate whether you want the increment value to increase by 1 or by a custom increment.
12. Click on the Add button to save the new numbering format.
13. When creating an invoice, you will be able to choose between the automatic numbering or one of the custom numberings you have created.
