Invoice Settings - Ability to create multiple numbering sequences
If a business uses more than one branding theme for their sales documents, a feature to apply a separate automatic numbering sequence to each one would be useful.

Hi there,
I would like to set-up two invoice sequences for the invoicing on Xero.
One should start with the prefix SVAT (Ex: SVAT-0001, SVAT-0002), and another to start with the prefix INV (Ex. INV-0001, INV-0002)
Also, I would like to see, two separate age receivables based on the invoice prefix type as those two are two different departments.

Where you have various branding invoice templates , is there a way to get special invoice numbers associated with your specific branding template?
So we have 3 branding templates we want to use different invoice numbers to keep them separate. -

After all these years, has Xero found a solution for this? Should have been an option available from the moment the branding feature was introduced.
It is very time-consuming having to keep a list of sequential numbers for each branding noted externally from Xero so to keep track of the last number used and avoid errors or duplications of invoice numbers in the process.
This should be looked at as a priority at this point in Xero product updates.
Thank you

I've asked the same - it's a pain when you have recurring invoices as place holders to remind you to bill them and you then approve as they go out but you want the number sequence only to apply to approved invoices!

Ability to have a seperate sequence for draft invoices, or to create without invoice number. We often have drafts for weeks, so when they're approved and sent, the sequencing is off. In Spain this is illegal to do and is causing a lot of issues.

Ability to have a sequential # for customised Donation Receipt. e.g DON-0001 instead of using the INV sequence number.

On a Purchase Order, Invoice or Quote each line item isn't automatically numbered sequentially.
Is this a feature that can be set?
This would be of benefit when referencing an item within one of these documents. -

Ability to have a numbering sequence per contact.
Purpose: It is easier for users and their customers to track if all invoices have been paid.
