To change or reset your invoice number sequence, enable custom transaction numbers, create a new invoice with your preferred number, and save it. QuickBooks will automatically adopt that new number as the baseline for all future sequential invoices.

 

Here’s how:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon.
  2. Select Account and Settings.
  3. Click the Sales tab on the left menu.
  4. Find Sales form content and click the Pencil (Edit) icon.
  5. Turn on the Custom transaction numbers switch.
  6. Click Save.
  7. Open a New Invoice.
  8. In the Invoice no. field, delete 70588 (or whatever auto-filled number appears) and type the desired starting number you prefer (for example, 1 or 1001).
  9. Fill out the invoice and click Save and close. Future invoices will now count up sequentially from that new number.
