I work in the construction industry, and all work is based on projects. Each project has a unique project number, and all documentation for that project uses the project number as part of its identification. It should be possible to manually input the invoice number to relate it to the project rather than have a meaningless sequential numbering system. For example if the project number is 24062, then the invoices would be !-24062.1, I-24062.2, I-24062.3, etc. Xero already has the capability to prevent identical numbers being used more than once, so there is already no problem with duplication.
