Numbero Invoice Number Generation Options:

Numbero offers a flexible system that allows you to customize the invoice number format according to your needs. Using document placeholders, you can create a unique and informative numbering system.

Available Placeholders:

{N} - Document sequence number.

{M} - Document's day of the month sequence number (1-31).

{M2} - Document's day of the month sequence number with two digits (01-31).

{Y} - Document's year sequence number with four digits (e.g., 2023).

{Y2} - Document's year sequence number with two digits (e.g., 23).

{D} - Document issue day sequence number (1-31).

{D2} - Document issue day sequence number with two digits (01-31).

Sequence Number Reset:

Append {N} with the reset period:

{NY} - Sequence number resets to 1 every year.

{NM} - Sequence number resets to 1 every month.

{ND} - Sequence number resets to 1 every day.

Leading Zeros:

Specify the number of leading zeros by adding a digit after {N}, for example, {N5} will generate a five-digit number with leading zeros (00001, 00002, etc.).

Examples:

INV-{NM}-{Y}-{M} - March invoice: INV-1-2023-3, April invoice: INV-1-2023-4

INV-{NM5}-{Y}-{M} - March invoice: INV-00001-2023-3, next March invoice: INV-00002-2023-3

INV-{NM5}-{Y}-{M2} - March invoice: INV-00001-2023-03, April invoice: INV-00001-2023-04
