    Quickbooks invoice number issue

    Good Morning,

    When I did my first full sync with quickbooks, method brought in the invoice and the last invoice number was 3907.  Now when i start creating invoices from my custom invoice screen, method is starting with number 43. When i created the new screen i just copied your default field-invoice screen in Field services and added a email button.

    Is there somthing i did wrong?

    Ok i got it fixed. I created a invoice in Quickbooks with a new invoice number of 3907 and saved the invoice. Preformed a full sync and presto i created a invoice in method and method gave me a new number of 3908. I am thinking i need to keep quickbooks open when i do this? 

    Thanks, John M

    John,

    In method by default if you don't enter invoice #, it will wait for QuickBooks to assign one. If QuickBooks is closed Method has no way of knowing what the next invoice number is so it waits until QuickBooks is open and then it send the invoice down to QuickBooks which then gives it an invoice number.
