"0" Invoice Numbers (QuickBooks Custom Transaction Numbers)

When integrated with QuickBooks, QuickBooks typically automatically generates incremental invoice numbers, referred to as "transaction numbers" within QuickBooks. These invoice numbers are then synchronized into Time To Pet. If the "Custom transaction numbers" setting is enabled in your QuickBooks account, QuickBooks will assign the number "0" instead.

Invoices created or edited in Time To Pet before January 29th, 2024, would have imported these "0" invoice numbers from QuickBooks. However, we have implemented an update in Time To Pet. If we detect that your QuickBooks account has the "Custom transaction numbers" setting enabled, we will override the "0" invoice number and assign an actual number, which will then be pushed into QuickBooks. If you have any pre-existing invoices with "0" invoice numbers that you would like to replace with an actual number, please refer to the section below on Giving "0" Invoices A Number.

Giving "0" Invoices A Number

Turning off the Custom Transaction Numbers setting will not automatically re-number the invoices that were already assigned a "0." Follow these steps to give these invoices an actual number:

1. Ensure the Custom Transaction Numbers setting is ON, allowing you to edit your invoice numbers in QuickBooks. See Locating The Custom Transaction Numbers Setting for instructions.
2. In QuickBooks, assign actual numbers to all "0" invoices.
3. Turn off Custom Transaction Numbers.

4. In Time To Pet, open the Edit Invoice screen for each invoice that needs to pull in the new invoice numbers. Scroll to the bottom and click "Re-Sync With QuickBooks."
