Invoice numbers to align with Xero numbers

Hi
I have a business with a few products, one of which is the event. So I already have sequential invoice numbers happening in Xero. Say I’m up to invoice 500.

I’ve change the Transaction ID number to Invoice number on the PDF but I can’t have some Event Espresso invoices saying 67 or something, as that invoice already exists in my bookkeeping system.

I have no idea how to get around this (though it would be great if we could integrate with Xero and the attendees get a Xero invoice, not an Event Espresso invoice). Do you have any thoughts on this issue?

Thanks


Tony

Hi Kylee,

One problem is that even if you change the starting number used by EE for the transactions that won’t prevent EE from creating Invoices and numbering them sequentially from there.

This means that if you start at 800, then Xero ‘catches up’ with that number your in the same position you are now as both EE and Xero will use the same numbers.

I have no idea how to get around this (though it would be great if we could integrate with Xero and the attendees get a Xero invoice, not an Event Espresso invoice).

That would need a full integration add-on between EE and Xero which we do not currently have.

Do all of your invoice need to be sequentially ordered and all from the same set?
