Hey there,
We’ve enhanced how invoice numbers work when using Cone with QuickBooks Online (QBO) — giving you better control and flexibility to match your accounting preferences
🎯 Choose how invoice numbers are managed
By default, Cone uses QBO’s invoice numbers. But now, you decide how your invoices get numbered
✅ Three flexible ways to manage invoice numbers
-
Use QBO’s auto-generated numbering (default)
— Let QBO handle the invoice numbering automatically based on your predefined sequence
-
Use QBO’s custom transaction number setting
— Enable custom transactions numbers in QBO and manually assign numbers there. Cone will pick up and sync the updates automatically
-
Let Cone generate invoice numbers
— Prefer to manage your numbering directly in Cone? Enable this, and Cone will create invoice numbers that sync directly to QBO
🔄 Automatic syncing
Once set up, invoice numbers are kept in sync—whether updated manually in QBO or generated through Cone
📌 Why this matters
- Align invoice management with your accounting preferences
- Avoid duplicated or missing invoice numbers
- Keep both systems up to date with real-time invoice number syncing
