how can i get invoices to automatically number for the new year?

We can enable the Custom Transaction Numbers feature to set invoice numbers automatically, jogs2112. I'm here to guide you in setting this up.

To confirm, may I ask if you're trying to set invoice numbers automatically? If so, let's turn on the Customer transactions number feature, please follow the steps below:

1. Navigate to the Gear icon.
2. Select Account and Settings.
   
   
    
3. Go to the Sales tab.
4. In the row labeled Sales form content, click the Pencil icon.
5. Tick the Custom transaction numbers box.
6. Click Save, then Done.
   
   
    

If you want to assign a unique number to your invoices for the upcoming year, you can set your preferred number on the new invoice. Once you do this, QuickBooks will remember it and automatically continue the numbering sequence. I've added images for better visualization.

Create new Invoice, add your preferred invoice number.



Then when you create another invoice, the number will automatically follow.
