    @Duncan Philps-Tate - I haven't looked at purchase orders. We sell some farm produce and my invoices numbers have reached the low 100's. The abattoir sends me the invoice for the cattle they have purchased so I enter the customer name and the system auto picks the next number in the sequence, I then change it to match the invoice provided by the abattoir (6 digit number) but it's too late the system has registered the default number as used so misses when I next genuinely raise a sales invoice.

    My work around is to enter the abattoir invoice number before I fill in the customer name but I keep forgetting to do this!

    As a farmer a lot of my sales invoice are actually self billing invoices raised by the cattle market or abattoir. I do however raise invoices and i find that since new invoicing was introduced Xero assigns an invoice number as soon as I put the abattoir name in and then when I override and next raise a normal invoice it has missed out invoice numbers - very annoying as its messing up my numbering sequence. The number it misses hasn't even been used it literally was there was 2 seconds until iI update it with the self billing invoice number
