VAT Return — View invoice numbers
Could the VAT transactions report in the VAT return include the invoice number as well as or instead of the reference?
This would make the review to see if there are any missing invoice numbers much simpler. Our invoices are created in another software package by a number of people who sometimes include text as well as the invoice number and it makes sorting by numerical order time consuming. Having the invoice number as a field would make it very easy to sort in numerical order and identify missing numbers.

This is already possible within Xero. When a Sales Invoice is included in the VAT return, under the Transactions by VAT box the Invoice number will appear under the Reference column. If the transaction is a Receive Money transaction there is no entry under the Reference column. If you need an extra hand you can raise a case with our Xero Support specialists. 😊

Dear Xero Development team, I support Sarah's proposal to include invoice numbers for both the sales and purchases component on the VAT report. This is fundamental for tracing and auditing purposes. How can Xero overlook such an elementary information. The reference and description are nice to have but not as critical as the invoice numbers.
