<p>That's a great question, I'm sure it will help other people so
I'll make this public if you don't mind.</p>
<p>When you say account I assume you mean business, I use the term
"account" to refer to the individual account such as a Bank
Account, a Customer account, income and expense accounts and so
on.</p>
<p>Invoice numbering in Easy Books works from the invoice with the
most recent date. This is used by the app as a template for your
invoice numbering format. Easy Books tries to find a sequence of
digits and tries to keep to the same number of digits too, so for
example "00001" should produce "00002" as the next invoice number
while "999" will need to spill into a new range giving "1000".
Where more than one sequence of digits exist, the app chooses the
right-most set as the one to increment, for example "GS4321-001"
will produce the next invoice "GS4321-002".</p>
<p>If you delete the most recent invoice and add a new one, it will
generate the same invoice number as before. So in your example, yes
the app will generate number 6 again, but of course you can
manually edit it if you need to. If you set it to 7 the app will
then resume numbering from 8 next time.</p>
<p>The app will avoid using a duplicate invoice number, it checks
to make sure. If the most recently dated invoice has a number that
is earlier in the sequence (in other words there are invoice
numbers that have already been used, but they are dated earlier)
the behaviour of the app will change in the next update. Currently
the app just finds the next spare invoice number but the behaviour
is to change so that the app always tries to find the highest
invoice number.</p>
<p>I hope this explains it for you,</p>

delete the transaction say inv 1, then put a new sale in with new
details i change the invoice easy books has generated manually as
you said , say from 12 to 1 it enters ok. The problem is if i go
into customers the original customer is there now showing a debit
balance, do i have to manually delete this customer? And will this
not effect the account balances at all? Other than deleting the
amount i have taken out obviously..</p>

that are affecting the balance. Perhaps you've got a payment
received in there or something?</p></div>Admin
