Frequently asked questions

Yes. Sales invoices are treated as vouchers. Open Utility → Advance Utility → Voucher Renumber, select the Sales Invoice voucher type, set the Starting Date (and optionally an Ending Date) to define the period, choose the old prefix if needed, enter the new prefix and the desired Starting Number, then press OK. Remember to back up your data because the change cannot be undone.

The utility allows you to replace the prefix (which can be the book code) of voucher numbers. In the Voucher Renumber screen, set Old Prefix to the current book code, enter the new book code in New Prefix, define the date range and starting number, and click OK. All vouchers matching the criteria will receive the new prefix. As always, take a backup before proceeding.
