| This is a known issue that affected some users after upgrading, which we fixed in November 2021. If you upgraded previously, or you want to change the current sequence of invoice numbers in the new MYOB Essentials, the following steps still apply. |
If you've just upgraded to the new MYOB Essentials, you may notice that your invoice number sequence has been reset. For example, if your last invoice entered in old MYOB Essentials was 00001458, the first invoice you enter after upgrading to new MYOB Essentials will be numbered 00000001: 
If this affects you and you want any new invoices to continue using the number sequence you had in old MYOB Essentials — or you just want to change the current invoice number sequence — you'll need to change the invoice number sequence. Fortunately, this is easy to do: follow the steps below. | UI Expand |

- Sort the Invoice no. column to show the last recorded invoice.
- Right-click and copy the invoice number.
- Click Create invoice.
- Paste the invoice number into the Invoice number field.
- Increase the invoice number by 1 (or change it to whatever number you want invoice numbers to continue from).
- Complete and save the invoice (need some guidance?). When you next enter an invoice, the Invoice number will be automatically incremented based on the last invoice.
