Hi there, customer. I have some information about some factors that can affect the sequence of your invoice numbers in QuickBooks Online.

 

It's more likely that invoices were created and then deleted after invoice no. 8015, which explains why the invoice sequence was skipped.
 

To resolve this, check if the Custom transaction numbers feature is turned on. With this, we'll be able to override the invoice number sequence.

 

  1. Go to the Gear ⚙ icon, then select Account and Settings.
  2. Choose Sales tab.
  3. In the Sales form content section, turn on Custom transaction numbers.
  4. Click Save, then hit Done.
  5. After that, open invoice no. 8018.
  6. In the Invoice no. field, enter the custom number you want to use for your forms. The sequence you set here applies to all sales forms moving forward.
  7. Select Save or Save and close.

I've also added this article as a reference once you're ready to receive customer payments: Record invoice payments in QuickBooks Online.
