Summary

Sample
Below is an image of an example 'Invoice Number' configuration.
Above the MyCompany invoice name is the example of the invoice number configuration working. The next invoice generated will be 'MyCompany1235' and so on until 'MyCompany9999'. If you get beyond this number the system will fall back to showing only the invoice ID in the image (represented by the 266). You can increase the Number Size in the Invoice Numbers configuration to address the issue of exhausting the last available number in the range.
Number Size Presentation
If the Number Size is larger than the number of digits in the next number, the system prepends zeros to take the places:
MyCompany0123
MyCompany00124
0001234
