invoicing and credit memo - adding a dash to prevent duplicate numbers BUT LOCKED on that number

Hi Tracey, I hear where you're coming from and recognize the importance of maintaining unique invoice or credit memo numbers in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Enterprise to maintain accurate financial records.

At present, QBDT utilizes a single numbering sequence for both forms. The program assigns a number from the sequence, regardless of whether the document is an invoice or a credit memo, and it doesn't apply different prefixes for different document types when using the same base number sequence.

Thus, I recommend manually adjusting numbers for each document type. I also encourage you to submit a feature request via QuickBooks to separate numbering sequences for different document types and related information. Our Product Development team may include them in the upcoming product updates.

Here's how:

1. Log in to your QBDT account and go to the Help menu.
2. Select Send Feedback Online, then choose Product Suggestion.
3. Enter your request and click Send Feedback to confirm.

We greatly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Your input is invaluable in helping us enhance QBDT. If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to leave a comment below.
