Ability to change invoice numbering at any point in time

Hi Fionna. As this idea is for a slightly different topic I was going to suggest you create a new idea, but I have seen you have done that already so thank you. As a reference for others, the idea for customisable invoice numbers can be found at https://ideas.reckon.com/ideas/CORE-I-962

Customisable invoice numbers: What is the update with this please. I am using the workaround of the reference number but that is still hugely problematic when generating reports!

I have trialed Reckon One, and the BIG thing holding us back migrating across is the inability to create our own custom invoice numbers. We have our own numbering protocol, and Reckon One doesn't let us enter our numbering system for invoicing. We don't want to be limited to a basic sequential numbering system that Reckon One thinks is suitable for all customers. We want to have the abilty to create our own invoicing numbering system, be able to reset and change invoice numbers, and add prefixes and suffixes as required. We want total flexiblity. Why is this so restricted? It should be up to the end user, not hard locked down by the software. There is no legal requirement for our invoice numbers to be locked down in your ordering restrictions. We can choose our own numbering metholodgy. Please allow your customers to create their own invoice numbering protocol however they see fit. This should be an easy fix, yet it is stopping us from migrating across to your software.

New idea it's 3years old

I have a client moving her records from manual to Reckon One and innocently deleted an invoice she incorrectly entered with the view to "starting it again" and now there is no way for her to get that invoice number back! She needs to be able to match the Reckon invoice numbers to the manual invoices historically and in order to move on with invoicing from Reckon One sequentially.

While the invoice numbers are unable to be changed I think that there at least needs to be more warning on the delete option that advises that " deleting this invoice means that the invoice number being deleted will no longer be accessible - Are you sure you want to continue?!".

Hi Clare. It's actually quite common for systems to lock invoice numbers once the starting number has been set. In fact Reckon Accounts has been criticised over the years for allowing invoice numbers to be altered. The good news, we think this is a great idea and want to introduce the flexibility of Reckon Accounts. Based on votes I suspect we'll start planning this change later this quarter.

We have migrated to Reckon One from Reckon Accounts Premier simply because the company I work for  uses customised engineering software for quotes, costings, purchase orders, invoicing etc and doesn't need the power Reckon Account Premier. Reckon One presents a saving and is all that we require for accounting purposes. However I NEED to be able to change the invoice numbers in Reckon One to align with issued invoice numbers. The fact that I cannot change invoice numbers is simply bizarre, I could do so in Reckon Accounts Premiere  - I am left completely red faced on this one.

Yep.  First problem I noticed when trialing Reckon One.  Noticeably missing, especially when you're changing to Reckon One and need to enter invoices from the old system.  Very frustrating
