You can modify the auto-generated invoice number according to the new financial year in two ways:

In the invoice creation page

  • Go to Invoices on the left sidebar.

  • Click the + New in the top-right corner.

  • In the creation page, click the Gear icon next to the Invoice# field.

    Generate Invoice Number

The invoice numbers for your future invoices will be automatically generated with the new prefix.

In the Transaction Number Series page
