Overview

All Invoices (generated on or after March 8, 2024) receive an Invoice Number. This includes Draft Invoices, Unpaid Invoices, One-time Invoices, etc.

Invoices are numbered as Tenant sequential number-Bill Group sequential number where,

1. Tenant sequential number: Starting from 100000000 and incremented by 1 for each new Invoice created in the tenant.
2. Bill Group sequential number: Starting from 1 and incremented by 1 for each new Invoice created within that Bill Group.

For example, the below Invoice is the tenth invoice created in this Tenant, but the first invoice created for this Bill Group.

Invoices generated before March 8, 2024 do not have invoice numbers

Tenant sequential number

Sequential invoice numbering reduces fraud risk by creating a paper trail of all Invoices created, regardless of whether they were credited, credit and rebilled, etc. Avalara, a Tax Partner of MonetizeNow, has a great article on the topic.

Bill Group sequential number

Instead of referencing a complicated string of letters and numbers, Customer Success Managers, Finance teams, and your customers can easily reference "the Invoice ending in dash n" to ensure a common understanding.
