How to set first / next record Id

Id settings are available for 

  • Quotes
  • Invoices
  • Purchase orders
  • Bills
  • Delivery notes
  • Serial numbers

If id is set before record added to the system, then set Id will be the first one, if you want to skip some numbers, then set Id at the beginning, then at the required point, set the next one.

Note: If Id is not modified at the beginning – before records submitted -, then first record Id starts from 00001 (1).

Examples:

1. Create a Quote / Invoice / etc. without setting / changing Id properties.

Quote id will be 00001.

2. Navigate to Settings > Business settings page > Properties tab. Change Next Quote Id value to 1000 within parameters and hit Update.

Create a Quote.

Quote id will be 01000.

Note: Next Id properties can be modified how many times required, but next Id must be higher than the previous one.
