Question

Why does a $200 billion dollar company need limits on characters in invoices

Hello,


At my job I handle invoicing which we send out to be reimbursed for services rendered. As such I have had to use the Intuit Quickbooks platform for awhile now. The most frustrating part is the character limit on invoice #'s. Is it just impossible for a $200 billion financial giant to be able to allow for 26 characters? what about 27? Is it really that hard. Will it just cost too much money?

I can see how having the flexibility in numbering your invoices could improve your workflow, @eric151. The 11-character limit for invoice numbers is designed to ensure data integrity, performance, and compatibility, but I recognize it may not meet your business needs.

 

With that in mind, I encourage you to submit your feedback directly to our product team so they can take your experience into account. Here’s how you can do that:

 

  1. Navigate to the Help tab.
  2. Select the Send Feedback Online option.
  3. Select the Product Suggestion option. A pop-up window will display.
  4. Enter your feedback suggestion.
  5. Click the Send Feedback button. 

 

 

Please feel free to reach out if you have other questions or need any assistance. We'll loop back to the thread promptly.
