Overriding Internal Numbers

How to enable manual override of internal document numbers and why it's better to create a new document series

Written by Lenka Haringerová

Internal document numbers determine document series, and overwriting them is not standard practice. You'll encounter them in the Sales, Purchases, Money, and Accounting modules.

⚠️ If you need different numbering, do not modify an already recorded and used document series — always create a new one. Making changes to a series that's already in use leads to inconsistent document numbering.

Enabling manual overwriting

If manually editing internal numbers is necessary, first enable the feature:

  1. Go to the menu Company → Settings.

  2. Switch to the Other tab.

  3. Check the Allow manual overwriting of internal document numbers option.

The internal number can then be overwritten manually on a document, one document at a time.
