Invoice - Option to deactivate auto sequencing invoice numbers
Invoice Settings - be able to turn off the Auto Sequencing Invoice Number.
I need to input a specific, externally generated invoice number when invoicing.
It would be nice to have the invoice number field blank, ready for me to input it.
Currently there is no option other than to have an auto sequenced number in the field.
Yes, I can delete it and then input my number but would be great if I could have a blank field.

I would like to add a vote for this. We already had an invoicing system when we started using Xero and want to keep the number sequence for various reasons. At least twice each monthly invoicing session, the invoice number I have entered switches back to the auto-sequenced one and sometimes it does it just as I save so I then have to go back in and edit the number. Personally I would like it to remember the last number I entered and offer me the next sequential number. A blank field would be better than the current system however.

We would also like to see this. Our invoicing is based upon externally generated work order numbers. The jobs do not completed in chronological order, so our invoice numbers jump all over the place. Sometimes when I backspace to remove the auto-generated number they pop back up again, appended by our work order number. Our productivity would be enhanced with the ability to turn off automatically sequenced numbering.
