Hello thananit.

 

You may want to try enabling Sequential Invoice Numbering:

 

1. To enable this feature, begin by going to Setup > General Settings

 

2. Then click on the Invoices tab

 

3. Next, tick the box labelled "Sequential Paid Invoice Numbering"

In the field below, you can then specify the format you want to use for the numbering - it doesn't just have to be a number - you could for example include your companies initials and the year to differentiate invoices for each year - eg. WHMCS2007-{NUMBER} - {NUMBER} placeholder gets replaced with that invoices number

 

4. The final field allows you to set the next number to be assigned to an invoice. Each time an invoice is paid, the number increases by 1. You can alter the number here, such as when removing an invoice or at the beginning of a new year if you want to start at 1 again.

 

This will allow you to create custom invoice numbers and you can designate the starting number and how much you want the invoice to increase when generated.

Hi,

The sequential paid invoice numbering applies only to paid invoices. If you want to have a custom invoice number for unpaid invoices too, then I recommend activating the EU VAT Addon and using the "Custom Invoice Numbering" feature: http://docs.whmcs.com/EU_VAT_Addon
